Rust streaks on the chase below the top

Brown streaks running down the siding of a chimney chase start at the metal top. A galvanized chase top that has lost its coating rusts, holds water where it has sagged and sends the rust down the wall. The same water can find its way into the firebox inside.

For a prefab fireplace in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace, the chase top and the firebox are one conversation, since the water links them. We price the top as its own line and check the firebox for the damage it caused.

Wet panels in an inland fireplace in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace

Refractory panels absorb rain that gets down the flue, and a wet panel cracks faster once a fire heats it. That is as true in inland Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace as anywhere else.

When panels in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace show water staining, we fix the top before ordering new ones, so the new set starts dry.

Firestop spacers at each ceiling

Where the pipe passes through a ceiling or floor, the manual calls for a firestop spacer that holds the framing at the listed distance and closes the opening. A missing or displaced firestop leaves an open path between floors and lets insulation or framing drift toward the pipe.

We look for a firestop at every ceiling the pipe crosses and check that it is seated and fastened. Missing ones are replaced with the maker's part. This is one reason the free inspection on a prefab fireplace includes the attic, even when the trouble seems to be in the room.

What may cover the face of the unit

Manuals for factory-built fireplaces set which materials may cover the face around the opening, how close they may come and whether they may overlap the unit's frame. Combustible finishes stay outside the zone the manual marks, and heavy stone may need support of its own.

Before new facing goes on, we mark the zone from the manual for your model and check that grilles and air openings stay clear. The facing work itself may be ours or a tile setter's, and the estimate says which, so nobody assumes the other trade has it covered.

Using the mantel chart in the manual

Manuals for factory-built units give combustible mantel clearances as a chart or a sloped line: the deeper the mantel, the higher above the opening it must sit. Side trim has limits of its own. These numbers come from the unit's test, so they differ from the masonry rules in the code.

Mantel height and depth are measured and read against the chart for your model. When the mantel is outside it, the fix is to raise it, shorten its depth or change its material, and the estimate names who does that work.

Before a part is ordered

Is the prefab inspection in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace free?

Yes. We read the label, check the firebox and follow the pipe as far as we can reach, then leave a written estimate at no charge.

What if the parts for my fireplace are no longer made?

Then no listed repair exists, and we tell you directly. The estimate shows what replacing the fireplace and its chimney as one listed system involves.
