A fireplace that has sat unused for years

Fireplaces that have gone years without a fire pick up problems that have nothing to do with burning. Dampers seize in place, rust flakes gather on the smoke shelf, and nests or leaves collect above the throat. Before anyone lights one again in Fleming Island, the yearly inspection NFPA 211 calls for is the right starting point, and the repair visit covers the fireplace side of it: the firebox lining, the damper, the hearth and the clearances around the opening. We write down what has to be fixed before the first fire and what can be handled later, so the first evening with a fire is a planned one. Firebox cracked or damper stuck in Fleming Island?

How our fireplace pros repair a fireplace in Fleming Island

Type and rating plate read
We settle whether the fireplace is masonry or factory-built and read the model where there is one.
Joints, damper and hearth checked
Joints are probed, the damper worked through its travel, and the hearth and trim measured.
Repair with the right materials
Refractory mortar and firebrick for masonry, the maker's parts for factory-built units.
Test fire and cleanup
Where smoke was the problem, a short test fire checks the fix, and the room is cleaned before we go.

A wet firebox after heavy rain in Fleming Island

Inland storms in hurricane season, June through November, can still send rain down a flue. Water in the firebox rusts the damper and the grate.

If the firebox in your Fleming Island home is wet after a storm, let it dry before the next fire and have the damper checked.

Light around a closed damper

With the damper closed and the room dark, hold a flashlight in the firebox and aim it up at the plate. Light showing around the plate means air is moving through it. A throat damper does not seal tightly even when new, but a warped plate or a frame that has pulled away from the masonry leaves a real gap, and cooled indoor air leaves the house through it whenever the fireplace sits unused.

If the frame is sound, a new plate can restore the fit. If the frame is gone or the throat is damaged, we price a top sealing damper, which seals against a gasket where the flue ends.

A grate that fits the firebox

The grate decides where the fire sits. In a factory-built unit the manual can specify the grate, or at least its size and whether the fire may sit on the floor, because a fire pushed against the back panels puts heat where the unit was not tested for it. In a masonry firebox, a grate that fills the opening from side to side leaves no room for air to feed the fire from the front and pushes flames against the side walls. The grate gets a look on each repair visit, and a new one is a small line item next to the repair it protects.

Screens that keep sparks on the hearth

A wood fire throws sparks, and the screen across the opening is what keeps them off the floor. Mesh curtains sag, tear or come off their rods, and on a factory-built unit the screen is a listed part replaced with the maker's own. We check that the screen closes fully across the opening without gaps at the sides or the bottom, that its rods and pulls work, and that nothing combustible is kept close to the hearth where a spark could land. A torn or missing screen is a small line on the estimate, but it is a safety line, and it goes near the top.
