A crack across the hearth

Noticed a crack running across the hearth in front of the fireplace, or tiles lifting? The hearth has to stay noncombustible and solid, since it catches sparks and any log that rolls out. A crack can let embers reach the wood floor beneath.

We check whether the crack is cosmetic or whether the hearth has settled, then repair it with materials that suit the heat and the finish. Loose tiles are reset on a proper bed. The size of the hearth is checked too, since some are too small for the opening. You'll get the options priced. Reserve a hearth repair in Williston at (352) 675-6366.

The 2020 Census put the population of Williston at 2,976. Williston lies inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.

Local Conditions

Outside air intakes and their screens

For a fireplace with an outside-air intake in Williston, tell us about visible blockage or a damaged screen. The intake and its control need checking against the actual system's requirements. Keeping an intake unobstructed is useful, but it does not by itself prove that the fireplace will draft correctly.

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.

Freeing a stuck damper

Just above the firebox, a hinged iron or steel plate closes the fireplace off from the flue between fires. Soot, rust and heat warping are what jam it, open or shut, and a snapped handle or chain leaves you no way to move it.

With the frame and plate cleaned and the pivot freed, the damper gets worked through its full swing until it opens wide and lies flat when closed. Broken handles and linkages are replaced with parts that fit.

A plate that has rusted through or twisted won't stay fixed for long, so in that case you'll see prices for a new plate and for a sealing damper mounted at the flue top.

Doors on factory-built fireplaces

Glass doors change how a fireplace breathes and how hot its parts get. The Florida Building Code allows gasketed doors on a factory-built fireplace only when the fireplace is listed for them.

Only the doors the maker lists for your model, found from the rating plate, go on. On masonry fireplaces, doors are chosen to fit the opening and seal against it.

Cracked door glass is replaced with the maker's heat-rated glass, since ordinary window glass can shatter under fire heat. Door options and prices are laid out on the quote, with the listing noted where it applies.

FAQs

Smoke, cracks and doors, answered

Why do you need to know if it's factory-built?

Masonry fireplaces are repaired with refractory brick and mortar; factory-built units need the maker's listed parts. Our specialists read the rating plate to find the right ones.

Can you add doors to my fireplace?

On a masonry fireplace, doors are fitted to the opening. On a factory-built unit, only doors listed for that model can be used. Our specialists check the rating plate first.
