Prefab fireplace repair in Lake Dot

Loose retainers and shifting panels

Refractory panels are held by metal retainers and screws. When a retainer loosens or goes missing, a panel can lean, rattle or slide, and gaps open at its edges where heat reaches the steel.

We check every retainer, replace missing ones with the maker's part and reseat panels that have moved. A panel that keeps shifting after its retainers are secured is often cracked in a way that is hard to see from the front.

Warped firebox metal

Steel that has bowed, buckled or pulled away from its fasteners inside the firebox has been heated beyond its design. Warping can open seams in the firebox, loosen panels and change clearances around the unit.

Some firebox parts are replaceable and some are not. We check the parts list for your model, show you which damaged parts can be replaced in the field and tell you plainly when warping has gone past what repair can fix.

• Bowed or buckled firebox walls
• Seams pulled open
• Panels loosened by movement
• Parts list checked for what can be replaced

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
