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 It Works

How our fireplace pros repair a fireplace in Fleming Island

Masonry or factory-built checked
We read the firebox and the rating plate first, since the answer sets which rules and parts apply.
Firebox, damper and hearth tested
Joints are probed, the damper is worked from shut to open, and the hearth and trim distances are measured.
Refractory work or listed parts
A masonry firebox gets firebrick and refractory mortar. A factory-built unit gets the maker's parts by model number.
Test fire and walk-through
A small test fire shows the draft, and you hear exactly what was fixed.

Local Conditions

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.

Firebrick is a different brick

Firebrick is made from fire clay to stand up to heat and to repeated heating and cooling, and the code names ASTM C27 or C1261 for it. It is paler, denser and more uniform than the face brick on the outside of a chimney. A firebox that was built or repaired with common brick shows it, with faces that crack, pop or flake near the fire. Replacing a single damaged firebrick means cutting out the old one without disturbing its neighbors, buttering the new one with refractory mortar and setting it flush so the fire does not catch a raised edge.

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.

Working out how far trim can stand out

Trim near a masonry opening follows a simple ratio in the code: nothing combustible within 6 inches, and within 12 inches, no more than 1/8 inch of projection for each inch away from the opening. A piece of wood 8 inches from the opening may stand out 1 inch.

At 6 inches it may stand out three-quarters of an inch. Past 12 inches the ratio no longer applies. We measure each piece of trim and molding on the face, including the underside of a mantel shelf, and anything over the limit is listed with the fix, whether trimming it, moving it or replacing it with noncombustible material.

FAQ

Before the firebox is opened up

Can you repair a fireplace in Fleming Island the same week?

When the day's schedule has an open slot, same-day service is available, and repairs follow the written estimate once you approve it. Parts for a factory-built unit can take longer when they have to be ordered from the maker.

Does the 10% off a first service cover fireplace repair?

It does. A fireplace repair counts toward 10% off your first service, shown as its own line on the written estimate.
