Firebox Repair
The masons at Anderson’s Chimney & Masonry start every firebox repair job with an inspection. We want to understand exactly what’s happening with the firebox and what caused the problems.
Having your firebox professionally repaired will prevent some serious problems, including flames exiting the structure and starting a house fire.
Smoke and deadly carbon monoxide can also escape from a compromised firebox. Smoke can damage adjacent building materials of the home; carbon monoxide can enter a home’s air and put the health of people and pets at risk.
For minor and moderate firebox damage, we have excellent results with a specialized mortar called “fireclay” that seals breaks and gaps. We can replace fire bricks and refractory panels that can’t be effectively sealed. Sections where mortar has crumbled away can be filled in with a strong heat-resistant compound designed for fireboxes.
Firebox Rebuilding
When a firebox is significantly damaged and no level of sealing or repair will solve the problem, we suggest a complete firebox rebuild.
Our crew has several approaches to firebox rebuilding that include designing the new firebox in a way that reduces heat loss, accelerates smooth drafting and greatly improves overall performance.
The Rumford Firebox and the Prior Fire Firebox are two of the designs we offer that our customers absolutely love. We’ll be happy to tell you about all the amazing benefits of these advanced firebox systems when we discuss a rebuilding project.
Whether we repair or rebuild your firebox, our NFI-certified technicians will do all the work in strict compliance with state and local building and fire safety codes.
