Rust and water in the fireplace

Finding rust on the damper, wet ash or a crusty orange stain on the firebox floor? Water is getting into the fireplace from above, and the damper is the first metal it hits.

On the fireplace side, the damper is cleaned and treated or replaced, and any firebox joints the water has softened are reset. Where the water is coming in from the top of the chimney, our pros tell you and price that repair too, since fixing the fireplace alone won't stop it coming back. Ask a local pro about water in your fireplace in Hague at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Factory-built units away from the coast

Panels, doors and grates in a factory-built fireplace in Hague follow the maker's manual. Away from the coast, salt isn't a factor, and wear comes from use and heat. Our specialists read the rating plate, check the panels against the manual's crack limits and order the maker's parts where needed. Parts come from the maker's own list. The model is written on the quote.

Open joints at the back wall

The back wall of the firebox takes the most direct heat, and its mortar joints tend to be the first to open. Gaps you can slip a blade into let heat pass through the lining to the masonry behind it.

Our specialists rake out the failed joints to sound material, clean them, and pack in fresh refractory mortar, tooled flush and tight. Loose bricks are removed, cleaned and reset.

The repair needs time to cure before you light another fire, and they'll tell you how long noted on the quote. Catching open joints early keeps a small repair from turning into a firebox rebuild.

Replacing cracked firebrick

Fine surface cracks in firebrick are normal and can be cosmetic. Cracks that run through the brick, corners that have broken off and faces that have crumbled are different, since they leave thin spots where heat gets through to the masonry behind.

Damaged firebrick comes out without disturbing the bricks around it, and new firebrick of the same size goes in with refractory mortar. New firebrick starts out lighter in color and darkens with use.

Our pros show you which bricks need replacing and why, and the count goes on your quote. Sound brick with only surface marks stays where it is.

Working from the rating plate

Every factory-built fireplace carries a metal rating plate that identifies the unit: who made it, which model it is and what it's listed to. Look for it on a firebox side wall, under the smoke shelf or behind a lower grille.

That plate is how our pros find the right manual, the correct replacement parts and the rules for doors, grates and panels. Without it, parts get guessed at, and guessed parts may not fit or may break the listing.

If the plate is missing or unreadable, they'll try other ways to identify the unit and tell you if some parts can no longer be found.

FAQs

Worth fixing, or time to replace?

How long before I can use it after a firebox repair?

Refractory repairs need time to cure, and the first fires should be small. Our pros give you the waiting time spelled out. Talk to us about your repair in Hague at (352) 675-6366.

Will the repair make a mess in my living room?

The floor is covered from the door to the hearth, furniture is protected, and a vacuum runs as old mortar comes out. Debris leaves in bags and the hearth is cleaned before our pros go.
