How our crew restores a fireplace in Maitland
Three parts of the job our fireplace pros explain to homeowners in Maitland before work starts.
Finding the label on a factory-built fireplace
The Florida Building Code requires a factory-built fireplace to be listed and labeled, tested to UL 127 and installed under the conditions of that listing. The label names the maker and the model, and it leads straight to the right manual and the right replacement parts.
Labels hide behind grilles, on side panels or under years of soot. Our technicians look for it during the free inspection and record the model in your estimate. When the label is gone, we say so, because a plan for an unidentified unit has limits you should hear about up front.
A leaning or bulging back wall
The back wall of the firebox gets the most heat, and it is the part most likely to loosen. A back wall that leans forward, bows in the middle or has pulled away from the side walls needs attention before anyone lights a fire.
Our technicians check whether the movement is limited to the firebrick lining or involves the masonry behind it. A lining problem can often be rebuilt from inside the firebox. Movement behind the lining calls for a closer look, and your written plan explains the difference.
Acid cleaners and fireplace brick
Strong acid strips stains and mortar smears quickly, and it damages brick just as quickly. Brick Industry Association guidance warns that improperly mixed or overly strong acid can etch brick, eat into mortar and leave lighter brick with a burned look.
Acid is used only when a test area shows it is safe for the brick and mortar in question, mixed to the product maker's directions and rinsed thoroughly. Most soot cleaning on a fireplace face never needs it.
When the fireplace needs less than you feared
Sometimes a fireplace is in better shape than its owner expected. Soot cleaning, a damper adjustment and a handful of joints may be all it needs.
When that is the case in Maitland, our technicians say so. A small, honest estimate is still a free inspection well spent, and it is how a family business earns the next call.
