Fireplace Restoration Work for Wimauma Homes
From a soot-stained face to a relined firebox, here is the work our specialists handle.
Why strong acid stays off the brick
Unbuffered muriatic acid is a common shortcut for cleaning brick, and industry guidance warns against it. Mixed too strong or left too long, acid can etch the brick face, eat into the mortar and leave burn marks that are harder to fix than the soot.
Light-colored brick can also react to acidic cleaners with yellow or green stains. Our specialists choose cleaners made for the brick in front of them and test before using them across the face.
Mortar that suits the old brick
New mortar in an old wall should give way before the brick does. The National Park Service's repointing guidance (Preservation Brief 2) calls for repointing mortar that is softer than the brick and no harder than the original mortar.
A modern high-strength mix can look fine at first and then crack the edges of older brick as the wall moves. Our pros match the mortar to the brick in front of them, which matters as much as matching the color.
Old tile on the surround and hearth
Decorative tile gives many older fireplaces their look, and it cracks with heat, settling and the occasional dropped log. Loose tile can often be reset, and a few broken pieces can be replaced.
Our specialists set tile with materials suited to the heat near a fireplace, match replacements as closely as available tile allows and tell you plainly when an exact match cannot be found.
Checking the draft once the work is done
Good looks are only half of a restoration, because the fireplace also has to draw. Once curing allows, our specialists check that the damper opens fully, the smoke rises cleanly and nothing spills at the face.
If the draft is weak, the cause may be the size of the opening compared with the flue, the air supply in the room or the flue itself, and the next step is explained in plain terms.
