Before any wall is opened for a fireplace in South Eola
Explained by the crew that frames and pipes fireplaces in South Eola.
Where the combustion air may come from
Section R1006.2 requires the exterior air intake to be capable of supplying all combustion air from outside the dwelling or from spaces within it that are ventilated with outdoor air, such as nonmechanically ventilated crawl or attic spaces. The E-series manual adds its own warnings: never draw outside air from a garage, where engine exhaust collects.
It also warns against drawing air from attic spaces, basements or above the roofing where other appliances, fans or chimneys exhaust. We place the inlet with those limits in mind and show you its location on the outside wall at the planning visit.
Weight, time and the case for each type
A masonry fireplace and chimney weigh many times what a factory-built system does, need a footing and are built course by course over days. A factory-built fireplace is framed in, can sit on a combustible floor where its manual allows, and goes in faster.
Neither is automatically better. We lay out the trade-offs for your house and the look you want, including what each type means for the floor, the roof and the schedule, and we recommend the one that suits the project.
Taking the old fireplace out
Removing a factory-built fireplace means opening the face finish, disconnecting the chimney, lifting out the pipe sections and sliding the firebox out through the room. The old chimney is usually removed from the roof down.
Our crew protects the floor and furniture, keeps the roof opening closed at the end of each day and hauls the old unit away when that is in the scope. Removal and disposal are separate lines on the estimate, and the room is cleaned before the new fireplace arrives.
The flue of a new masonry chimney
A new masonry chimney carries its smoke through a flue liner sized to the fireplace opening. The code sets how the liner is built and supported and how much space surrounds it.
We size the flue to the firebox and the chimney height at the design stage, because an undersized flue makes a smoky fireplace and an oversized one draws poorly. The flue size appears on the drawings and on the estimate, so it is settled before the chimney rises past the roof.

Fireplace questions South Eola homeowners ask next
What people in South Eola ask us before a fireplace is ordered.
How high does the mantel have to be?
It depends on the fireplace. For a factory-built unit, the manual sets mantel height and depth, and on masonry the code keeps combustible trim 6 inches or more from the opening. We mark the line during installation.
What can cover the face of the fireplace?
For a factory-built unit, noncombustible materials such as tile, brick or stone, with cooling slots and the door frame left clear. We confirm your finish against the manual before it is ordered.
