After a flood or water leak
Did water reach the fireplace, from a flood, a burst pipe or a leak above? Gas fireplace makers say not to use a unit if any part of it has been under water, and to have a qualified technician replace any control part and the gas control that got wet.
Every part the water reached gets identified and replaced with the maker's parts before the fireplace is used again. It's not a job for drying out and hoping. You'll see the list of parts and the price up front. Reserve a post-flood gas fireplace check in East Williston by calling (352) 675-6366.
About 21 miles, measured point to point, lie between East Williston and the Gainesville reference point. Our specialists serve East Williston as part of Levy County.

Local Conditions
When the remote goes dead
Remote controls on gas fireplaces in East Williston have batteries in the handheld and the receiver, and receivers have switch settings that can get bumped. Our specialists check both sets of batteries, the receiver settings and the pairing, then test the valve directly to find where the fault is. The manual override is shown to you too, so a dead battery doesn't leave you without a fire.
How It Works

-
Repair with listed parts

Reading the pilot flame
The pilot flame has a job: it has to wrap the thermocouple and thermopile and reach across to the main burner. Makers show the right flame in a diagram in the manual, and a weak, lazy or misdirected pilot causes a lot of lighting trouble.
Dust, lint and spider webs in the pilot orifice or the pilot hood shrink or bend the flame. Our specialists clean the pilot assembly, check the flame against the diagram and adjust what the manual allows.
Once the flame looks the way the maker drew it, the sensors get their heat and the unit lights reliably.
Checking gas pressure at the valve
Every gas fireplace has two pressures listed on its rating plate: the inlet pressure coming into the valve and the manifold pressure going to the burner. The valve has test points where a gauge can read both.
Low inlet pressure starves the flame; the wrong manifold pressure makes it too big or too small. Our specialists read both with a gauge and compare them with the plate.
If the inlet pressure is off, the problem is upstream, in the supply or the regulator, and that's for your gas supplier or a gas contractor. If the manifold pressure is off, it's set at the valve, and the reading goes on your quote.
What a healthy flame looks like
Each gas fireplace manual describes, and in most cases pictures, how the flame should look once the unit has warmed up. Many log sets are designed with yellow, lively flames, and some burners show more blue, so the manual is the reference for your unit.
Our specialists let the unit run long enough to settle, then compare the flame with the manual. Soot on the logs or glass, flames lifting off the burner, or a flame much bigger or smaller than pictured all point to a cause.
From there, they check logs, burner ports, air shutter and pressure in turn, and record only what they've measured.

FAQs
What people ask when a gas unit acts up
Is the ticking noise normal?
Steel fireplaces tick and pop as they heat and cool, and makers call that normal. A new rattle, grinding or loud bang on lighting isn't, and our specialists can check it.
Can you fix a fireplace that got wet?
Makers say not to use a unit if any part was under water. Our specialists replace every control part the water reached with the maker's parts before it runs again.
