About this service
Fireplace repair involves fixing the interior box, the damper, and the surrounding hearth area. You need this service if the firebricks inside your fireplace are broken, the damper is stuck open or closed, or if the masonry hearth is cracked. A well-functioning fireplace should draw air efficiently; if you find it difficult to start a fire or notice smoke venting into the room instead of up the flue, it is time to have a professional examine the system.
As temperatures drop, everyone realizes their chimney needs attention at the same time. If you haven't had an inspection this year, it is vital to clear out blockages like bird nests or leaves before your first fire. We help you beat the rush so you can safely enjoy your fireplace as soon as the weather turns.
