Handing over a new fireplace

A new fireplace is handed over with a walk-through. At the end of an installation in Lake Asbury we go through the damper or the air control, the screen, the grate the manual calls for, and what the manual says should stay out of the firebox.

You keep the manual, the inspection sign-off and a note of the model and chimney parts, which is what anyone servicing the fireplace later will need. NFPA 211 calls for a yearly inspection from then on. Questions after handover go to the same phone line you called first. Planning costs you nothing in Lake Asbury; call (904) 920-5495 and tell us which room you have in mind.

At the 2020 Census, Lake Asbury was home to 11,036 people. Lake Asbury sits inland, more than about six miles from the coast.

How It Works

From route walk to first fire in Lake Asbury

The room, the attic and the roof are checked for a clear chimney path before any unit is chosen.
Unit and chimney system chosen
A listed factory-built system from one maker, or a masonry fireplace on its own footing.
Framed, built and inspected
Framing and clearances follow the manual or the code, and the inspector sees them before the walls close.
Hearth, air supply and handover
The hearth extension and outside air go in, and we explain how to run the break-in fires.

Local Conditions

Masonry fireplaces in Lake Asbury

A masonry fireplace starts with its own footing at the ground, a foot thick and wider than the fireplace on every side.

When a home in Lake Asbury can take one, the plan shows the footing, the firebox, the throat and the chimney course by course.

Building an outside chase

An outside chase is a framed box on the exterior wall that carries a factory-built chimney up past the roof edge. It is framed and sheathed like an exterior wall, finished to match the house, and topped with a chase cover that the listed termination cap passes through. The manual says how the chase walls are insulated and sealed and what stays clear around the pipe.

A chase also needs its own support at the base, whether that is a foundation or framing tied into the house, sized for the chimney and the finish it carries. The chase cover itself is sloped or cross-broken so water runs off.

The air space around a masonry fireplace

Framing lumber keeps a 2-inch gap at the face and sides of a masonry fireplace, and a 4-inch gap behind it. That air space has to stay open, except where fireblocking closes it at floors and ceilings. The code allows combustible trim and sheathing edges to meet the side walls and hearth extension only where they sit at least 12 inches from the inside of the firebox lining.

When we frame the wall around a new masonry fireplace, those gaps are measured before the drywall goes up, because they cannot be checked afterward. Where a gap is short, the fix is framing. Insulation or caulk will not do it.

Taking out the old unit

Removing a failed factory-built fireplace is a job of its own. The facing comes off first, then the unit is disconnected from its chimney, unfastened from the framing and slid out in one piece where the framing allows.

When the chimney is being replaced too, it comes down section by section from inside, with its firestops and shield. The old framing is measured against the new unit's manual, and the opening is resized where the dimensions differ. Debris leaves the house bagged, and you know in advance what happens to the finished wall around the opening. The old unit's rating plate is kept with your paperwork.
