An old unit with mismatched parts

Home inspections sometimes find a factory-built fireplace with parts that do not belong together: a chimney pipe from another maker, a cap that is not listed for the system, or panels from a different model. Those parts take the fireplace outside its listing.

At the Green Cove Springs house we identify the unit from its rating plate, check each part against the manual, and write down what matches and what does not. Sometimes the fix is replacing the wrong parts. When the unit itself is worn or unidentifiable, the answer is a new fireplace and chimney. Both paths are priced in writing. Call (904) 920-5495 and our installation pros will plan the new Green Cove Springs fireplace with you, free.

Clay County Historic Courthouse can be found in Green Cove Springs. The county for Green Cove Springs is Clay County.

The footing under a masonry fireplace

The code starts a masonry fireplace with a footing of concrete or solid masonry a foot thick at minimum and projecting 6 inches or more past the fireplace on all sides. This footing carries the firebox, the smoke chamber and the chimney above it, which is a great deal of weight on a small area.

In an existing house, it means cutting through the slab or the floor structure and excavating before any masonry is laid. The footing is its own stage, with its own inspection when the permit calls for one. It is also the part no one sees afterward.

What can cover the face of the unit

The face of a factory-built fireplace, the metal around the opening, gets hot, and the manual limits what can cover it. It calls for noncombustible materials such as tile, stone or brick veneer, set with an adhesive rated for the temperature the manual names, and it shows where the facing has to stop short of the opening or the grilles. Combustible board and wood trim stay outside that zone.

We give you the manual's facing rules with the plan, so the tile or stone you choose fits them before it is bought. Grout and setting materials follow the same temperature rule.

A spark arrestor sized to the flue

Where a masonry chimney has a spark arrestor, the code sets its size and mesh. Its net free area is at least four times the area of the flue outlet it covers. The screen is heat and corrosion resistant, equal to 19-gage galvanized or 24-gage stainless steel, with openings that stop a 3/8-inch sphere but pass a 1/2-inch one. It also has to be reachable for cleaning.

On a factory-built chimney, the listed cap does this job, and it is the cap from the chimney maker's list. Mesh that clogs with soot restricts the draft, so the screen gets checked at each yearly inspection.

New fireplace questions from Green Cove Springs

Do I need a permit for a new fireplace?

Yes. A permit is required for this work under the Florida Building Code, and the local building department inspects it before the walls close and again at the end. The permit and those inspections appear in the schedule on the estimate.

Who patches the roof around a new chimney?

The estimate names who does it. The chimney parts at the roof come from the chimney maker's list, and the roof covering around them may be handled by a roofer, depending on the roof.
