About this service

Fireplace repair focuses on the firebox, dampers, and hearth components rather than the exterior stack. You should call for help if your damper is stuck, the firebrick inside the hearth is cracked, or if you smell smoke when the fireplace is in use. These repairs ensure that your fireplace is safe to use and functions efficiently. Keeping your hearth in good shape prevents potential fire hazards and improves the draft of your chimney system.

Summer is the quietest time for chimney work, making it the perfect opportunity to schedule repairs without the seasonal rush. Technicians have more flexibility to handle masonry work, cap installations, or flue liner replacements. Getting your maintenance done while the weather is dry ensures you are ready the moment the first chilly night arrives.

Frequently asked in Newark

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

In Newark, homeowners insurance may cover chimney repairs if the damage was caused by a sudden, unexpected event like a fire or severe weather. Damage from normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance is typically not covered. It's best to consult your specific insurance policy for details.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The '3 to 10 rule' is a critical chimney safety standard. It requires chimneys to extend at least three feet above the roofline and at least two feet higher than any part of the building within a ten-foot horizontal distance. This rule ensures proper drafting and prevents fire hazards.

Can a handyman repair a chimney?

How much does it typically cost to repair a chimney?
