Pieces of tile on the smoke shelf
Opened the damper and found bits of clay or mortar on the smoke shelf? Something inside the flue is breaking up, and the liner may have cracked or lost its joints. That's a reason to stop lighting fires until it's looked at.
Finding where the pieces came from shows what's needed, from a joint repair to a new liner. Our specialists also check the smoke chamber and damper, since debris falls through both. The options come with prices so you can decide. Ask for a liner and flue check with repair pricing in LaCrosse by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions
Sprinklers and the chimney base
If a lawn sprinkler in LaCrosse hits the base of an outside chimney, the lower brick stays wet for hours at a time. That soaking wears mortar, feeds white staining and can rot wood trim beside it. Our specialists look for water marks at the base during a repair visit and suggest turning the head away, then repair any masonry the spray has damaged.

Replacing brick that's losing its face
When a brick's face flakes away, the softer core behind it is exposed and wears quickly. Patching over it with mortar or sealant rarely lasts, since the damaged brick keeps taking on water behind the patch.
Our specialists cut out each damaged brick without disturbing the ones around it, set a replacement of matching size in fresh mortar, and tool the joints to match. Color matching comes from salvaged or closely matched brick, and you'll see a sample before we commit. The count of bricks to replace is on your quote before anything starts. Bricks that are only lightly worn are left in place, since replacing sound brick adds cost without adding life.
Heat-rated brick and mortar for firebox repairs
The firebox lining has its own materials. The Florida Building Code calls for firebrick to recognized standards laid in medium-duty refractory mortar, with joints no thicker than a quarter inch, because ordinary mortar breaks down in that heat.
Those are the materials a firebox repair uses. Open joints get cleared out and packed with refractory mortar; cracked or crumbling firebrick is cut out and replaced. A full rebuild of the firebox walls is priced separately, and you'll see why it's needed before you decide. Repairs cure before the fireplace is used again, and you'll hear exactly how long. The firebox is left swept and clean, ready for that first small fire.
Getting replacement brick to blend in
Brick varies in size, color and texture from one batch to the next, and a chimney has weathered for years. A new brick straight from the yard can stand out badly against old ones.
Size comes first in the match, since a brick that's the wrong height throws off every joint around it. Color and texture come next, from salvaged brick where possible. Mortar color is matched too, and joints are tooled to the same profile as the existing ones. You'll see a sample before the work begins, set against the old brick in daylight so the match is judged fairly.
