FIREBOX REPOINTING AND REBUILDING

The firebox is the area where wood is burned, it takes a lot of heat and abuse.  If you notice loose bricks or mortar, cracks, or if the mortar joints are eroded, it may be time for some repairs.

DAMPER REPAIR

The damper stops heat from escaping up the chimney when the fireplace is not in use. If you don’t have a damper or a set of tight fitting glass doors you are loosing a lot of heat up your chimney.  Give us a call and we can help you choose the right damper for your fireplace.

DRAFTING PROBLEMS (EXCESS SMOKE OUTSIDE THE CHIMNEY)

Drafting problems can be caused by many factors.  Two major factors include the temperature difference between the flue gas and the outside air and the height of the chimney. Excessive smoking can also be a result of:

  • Blockages in the flue, cap, or screening
  • Incorrect chimney height, flue, or throat size
  • Damper location
  • Smoke chamber/shelf design
  • Air leaks within the chimney
  • Inadequate air supply

After determining the cause of the drafting problem, we will recommend a solution or repair.
