Repairing the lining that holds the fire
A back wall that leans or bulges forward
A back wall that has bowed toward the room is more than a cosmetic problem. It usually means the lining has separated from the masonry behind it, often after years of heat and moisture working on the joints.
Our technicians check how far the wall has moved and whether the lining can be taken down and relaid or the whole back needs rebuilding. The fireplace should stay unused until then, and the written estimate explains the scope and what stays in place.
Dry, seasoned wood and the firebox
The EPA's Burn Wise guidance tells wood burners to burn only dry, split, well-seasoned wood. Wet wood smolders, and a smoldering fire leaves the firebox damp, sooty and slow to warm.
After a repair, burning dry wood in modest fires is one of the best ways to protect new brick and mortar. If you are unsure about your wood, ask our technician, who can explain what well-seasoned wood looks and sounds like.
Firebox notes in a home inspection report
Home inspection reports often mention cracked firebrick or deteriorated joints with a recommendation to have a specialist evaluate them. That note alone does not tell a buyer how big the repair is.
Our technicians inspect the firebox for free and give you a written estimate you can use in your decisions. We describe what we see and what it would take to repair, without exaggerating or playing it down.
A family business behind every firebox repair in Keene's Pointe
Orlando Chimney Service is owned and run by a local family, and the crew that relines your firebox in Keene's Pointe answers to the same people who took your call. That keeps the work careful and the promises plain.
If the finished firebox falls short of what we agreed, our 100% satisfaction guarantee brings us back. The workmanship warranty covers the brick and joints we laid.
The steel angle over the opening
Many masonry fireplaces carry the brick above the opening on a steel angle. Heat and moisture can rust it, and a rusted angle can sag or crack the brick it supports.
We look at the angle during a firebox visit. If it is rusted or sagging, that is noted and quoted as its own item, separate from the lining, because it involves the facing above the opening.
