Firebrick, refractory mortar and careful joints
Side walls and the corners where they meet
Side walls often angle outward toward the room, and the corners where they meet the back wall carry stress from heat moving in two directions. Cracks and open joints in those corners are a frequent finding.
Our technicians check both side walls and all the corners, including where the walls meet the floor. A corner that has opened is rebuilt with firebrick and refractory mortar so the walls work together again, and the estimate names each area we repair.
Why ordinary mortar and caulk fail in a firebox
Building mortar, general-purpose caulk and wall patching products are made for normal temperatures. Inside a firebox they can crack, crumble, shrink away from the brick or give off fumes when heated.
Our technicians use products made for firebox heat, laid the way their makers describe. If an earlier repair used the wrong material, we cut it out before starting, because new work built on top of it will fail with it.
Air-setting and heat-setting refractory products
Refractory mortars and patching products do not all cure the same way. Some set as they dry in the air, and others need heat to finish setting. The data sheet for each product says which it is and how to bring it into service.
Our technicians choose the product for the repair, then follow its instructions for application and cure. The product name and its first-use instructions go on your job sheet, so you know exactly what was used.
Mortar for laying brick, patch for small repairs
Laying or resetting firebrick calls for refractory mortar with thin joints. Filling a small chip or a shallow void in otherwise sound brick is a different task, sometimes handled with a refractory patching product.
We use each product for the job it was made for. A patch never stands in for a missing brick, and the estimate tells you which parts of the firebox get new brick, which get new joints and which, if any, get a patch.

Questions about relining and rebuilding
How soon can I use the fireplace after a firebox repair?
It depends on the refractory product used. Its data sheet sets the drying time and any first-fire steps, and we write that guidance on your job sheet. A repair should not be used just because it looks dry.
Will the new firebrick match the old?
We match the size of your existing lining so the pattern stays even. New brick starts lighter than old, soot-darkened brick and darkens with use. If an even look matters, ask about relining a whole wall.
