Before an insert slides into your Lake Underhill fireplace
Explained by the crew that lines and fits inserts in Lake Underhill.
A shallow firebox and a unit that sits forward
A fireplace built shallow leaves little room for an insert body. Some models are designed to project onto the hearth, with part of the firebox standing in front of the opening. That can work well, but it brings the hot door and falling embers closer to the floor and to any trim nearby.
The manual shows how far a given model may stand out and what floor protection it then requires. We compare that drawing with your hearth as it is today, and the written estimate says plainly whether the hearth is enough or needs to be extended with noncombustible material first.
Reaching the chimney top safely
A liner is lowered from the top, so part of every full-liner job happens on the roof. That means ladders set properly, footing on the roof covering, and tools and liner coil handled without scraping shingles or tile.
The estimate says how our crew will reach the chimney and how the roof is protected while they are up there. If roof access is difficult, we tell you at the inspection rather than discovering it with a liner halfway down the flue.
Hot glass in a busy living room
An insert's glass and door get hot enough to cause a burn. The Travis manual advises teaching children about the danger of a high-temperature appliance and supervising young children when they are in the same room as it.
We ask where children and pets spend time and whether a free-standing barrier would help your household. It is a short conversation, and it belongs before the first fire rather than after it. The same goes for a firewood basket parked too close to the door, which we flag at the walkthrough.
Raised hearths and flush hearths
A raised hearth stands above the surrounding floor, while a flush hearth sits level with it. The Pacific guide treats the two differently: a hearth raised above a combustible floor meets its requirement at one depth, and a flush hearth has to reach further out in front of the opening.
We measure the height and depth of your hearth and read the manual for your model before deciding whether it passes. The result, and any extension it needs, goes into the estimate in plain words.

Yes. The free inspection covers measuring the fireplace, checking the flue and reading the manual for the model you are considering. You get a written estimate with upfront pricing before any work, and booking within 72 hours after the inspection takes 10% off.
How far should furniture stay from the insert?
One insert manual we work from says to keep combustibles 36 inches from the front of the unit. Your model's manual sets its own distance, and we point it out at the walkthrough.
