Fireplace Problem or Chimney Problem?

Smoke, odor, ignition, and performance concerns can originate in the fireplace, appliance, damper, flue, or venting system. Diagnosis should identify which part of the system is responsible before a repair is selected.

Fireplace Repair FAQ

Why does my fireplace smoke into the room?
Common causes are a dirty flue, a closed or stuck damper, an undersized flue, or negative air pressure in a tight modern home. We diagnose the actual cause rather than guessing.
Can you repair a gas fireplace?
Yes. We can evaluate common gas ignition, pilot, burner, and venting concerns for fireplace systems and explain any service or venting issues identified during the visit.
Can a cracked firebox be repaired?
Often yes. Cracked refractory panels can be replaced, and damaged firebox brick can be repaired. If the damage is structural we will explain what is needed.
How do I know if my fireplace is safe to use?
If it has not been inspected in over a year, or you see cracks, smell smoke, or have drafting issues, schedule an inspection before using it again.
