Common Causes of Fireplace Repair

Every fireplace eventually will need repairs. In many cases, the problem is related to the chimney more than the fireplace. Various things can go wrong with a fireplace and chimney. Here are just some of the common causes of fireplace problems:

Chimney: these structures don’t look complicated, but chimneys are very complex. Chimneys are built to keep your home and family safe from heat, water, smoke and the elements. If anything goes wrong within a stack, the effect can be devastating. When it comes to keeping your chimney in good repair, regular maintenance is vital. This includes annual inspections, cleanings (chimney sweepings), repointing and more. In some cases, damage may even require a complete reconstruction. No matter what problems occur, our professional team is ready to get to work to put your fireplace back in working order.
Damper Problems: if your damper becomes caked in soot it may fail to open. A broken or cracked damper can keep smoke trapped inside of the house, unable to escape through the chimney.
Flue Issues: a broken flue needs to be replaced to maintain the fireplace working properly.
Structural problems: over time even the best-built fireplace may deteriorate. When this happens, your masonry may need to be reinforced or replaced. Whether you need basic pointing or a complete brick overhaul, our team knows what to do to bring your fireplace up to code and make it safe to use once again.
