Cracks you noticed in the firebox

Spotted cracks in the firebrick or gaps in the mortar at the back of the fireplace? Some are surface wear that can wait; others let heat reach masonry and framing that weren't built to take it.

Up close, the firebox tells our pros which kind you have, and the damper, the smoke chamber above it and the hearth in front get checked for cracks or settling too. They'll tell you which cracks matter and why, and what a repair involves, from new mortar joints to replacing brick. You'll get prices on the quote before anything is scheduled. Reserve a firebox check at your home in LaCrosse at (352) 675-6366.

The Gainesville reference point is roughly 11 miles from LaCrosse as the crow flies. In our service area, LaCrosse is grouped with Alachua County.

A general home inspection may not go that far. Our pros work to your closing timeline and include the attic side of the chimney, so you know about clearance and water issues as well as the obvious ones.

Checking the joints between flue tiles

A clay flue is a column of tiles stacked inside the chimney. The Florida Building Code has them set in medium-duty refractory mortar with tight joints left smooth on the inside, so smoke and heat stay inside the tile.

Our pros shine a light up the flue and look at each joint they can see for gaps, missing mortar or offset tiles. An open joint lets heat and gases reach the brick around the liner, and over time that damages the chimney from the inside. If a joint is open, you'll hear where it is and what relining or repair would involve.

Stove connector pipe and its joints

On the pipe joining a stove to the chimney, NFPA 211 lists what to check: how it's supported, how its joints are fastened, its pitch, and signs of damage, deterioration, blockage or heavy deposit.

Each of those is checked, plus the clearance from the pipe to nearby walls and ceilings and the spot where the pipe enters the chimney. Rusted sections, loose joints or a pipe that sags back toward the stove are all noted, and your quote says who corrects them. A connector in good order is one of the simplest ways to keep a stove venting properly.

Partitions between flues in one chimney

Where several flues occupy one chimney, their required separation depends on the configuration and applicable code provisions. Some arrangements have specific exceptions. Our pros consider the actual connections and visible partitions before recommending work between the flues.

NFPA 211 expects every flue in the chimney to be checked, including ones serving other appliances. Our pros inspect each flue and the partitions they can see, looking for cracks, missing mortar or signs of smoke staining across from one flue into another. It matters most where a fireplace and a furnace share a chimney, since exhaust in the wrong flue can reach a living space. Any gap found is priced for repair.
