Getting a prefab fireplace repair right in Lake Avalon
From the rating plate to the chimney top, this is how our family-owned crew reads a prefab fireplace in Lake Avalon.
Signs a fireplace has been overfired
Overfiring means running a fire hotter than the fireplace was designed for. One maker lists its symptoms as cracking, warping or burning out of components, plated accessories changing color and glass that develops a haze cleaning will not remove.
The same maker names causes such as burning scrap lumber, pine branches, paper or cardboard boxes in amounts beyond a normal log fire, and burning trash or treated material. Overfiring damage falls outside its warranty, so we look for these signs early in any repair.
- Cracked panels or burned-out parts
- Warped steel
- Plated trim that has changed color
- Glass haze that will not clean off
Factory-built fireplaces in manufactured homes
Some factory-built fireplaces are approved for manufactured homes. One maker's manual allows installation in an aftermarket, permanently located manufactured home, forbids installation in a sleeping room of a mobile home and says the structural integrity of the home's floor, walls and ceiling or roof must be maintained.
Repairs in a manufactured home follow those limits, with the unit's manual and listing checked first. We discuss any cut into framing with you and the manual before it happens.
- Unit approved for manufactured homes
- No installation in a sleeping room
- Floor, walls and roof structure kept intact
Soft or stained framing in a chase
Water that gets into a chase can stain and soften the framing around the metal chimney and rust the parts inside. The chase framing and its siding are house repairs, separate from the fireplace system.
We note what we see in the chase, repair the listed fireplace and chimney parts that were affected and recommend the right trade for the framing. Each piece of the job gets its own line.
- Stains and soft framing noted
- Listed parts repaired
- Framing and siding referred to the right trade
Accessories added to a prefab fireplace
A factory-built fireplace's manual limits which doors, screens, grates and inserts may be used with it, and the maker lists its own accessories by model. Add-ons from other sources need a close look against that manual.
Aftermarket fans, grate heaters and decorative panels come up often. We tell you which accessories fit your model and which ones to remove before the next fire.
- Doors approved for the model
- Screens and grates from the maker's list
- Inserts tested with the fireplace
- Add-ons to remove before the next fire
