How We Repair Fireplaces in Westchase
We are local and family-owned, and we treat your fireplace the way we treat our own.
When the opening and the flue are out of step
A fireplace draws best when the passage above the firebox, through the throat, damper and smoke chamber, is at least as large as the flue, as code section R1001.6 requires, and when the flue is sized to the opening under R1003.15.
A fireplace that has been altered, with a larger opening, a new firebox or a different damper, can end up out of proportion and smoke at the face. Our specialists measure the opening and the flue and explain whether a repair, a smoke guard or a change to the firebox will help.
Glass doors on the fireplace
Glass doors have to suit the fireplace they are mounted on. Accessories for masonry fireplaces are installed to their listing and the maker's instructions (R1001.13, UL 907), and a factory-built fireplace can take a gasketed door only if its own listing allows one (R1004.5).
Our pros repair hinges, latches and frames, replace broken glass with the maker's part and fit doors that suit your fireplace. If a factory-built unit is not listed for the door you want, we explain the alternatives.
A yearly look at the whole fireplace
Under NFPA 211, chimneys, fireplaces and vents should be inspected every year to confirm they are sound, free of deposits and at the right clearances. The U.S. Fire Administration gives homeowners the same advice.
A yearly visit catches a loose brick, a sticky damper or a cracked panel before it turns into a bigger repair. Our family-owned company offers that inspection free, with any repair priced separately.
When the firebox gets wet
Rain that reaches the firebox came in higher up, through the top of the chimney, a missing cap or the masonry. Wet firebrick, rust streaks on the damper and a musty smell are the fireplace showing the symptom.
Our specialists repair the fireplace parts the water damaged and trace the source, so the chimney leak repair can be quoted on its own. Fixing the firebox while water keeps coming in would only buy time.
