Fireplace
A fireplace is more than just a convenient way to heat your home—it can also be a focal point for your home décor. Whether you have a traditional wood-burning fireplace or a more modern gas fireplace, it’s important to keep it in good working order. Fireplaces require regular maintenance and repair to keep them safe and functioning properly. It is important to check for cracks in the fireplace structure itself, as these can pose a serious safety hazard. Despite the work required to keep a fireplace in good condition, people continue to be drawn to the warmth, light, tranquility, and comfort that they provide, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. Whether you’re curled up with a good book or spending time with family and friends, a fireplace is the perfect place to gather and relax. Chimney Fireplaces are often linked with chimneys since chimneys play a crucial role in ensuring smoke leaves your home in a safe manner, whether this is from your stove or fireplace. This ensures it’s safe for you, as well as those around you including pets to breathe in clean air. However, a chimney is much more than just a way to release smoke from your home. It's an important part of the ventilation system, and it needs to be properly maintained in order to function properly. If you have a chimney, it's important to have it inspected regularly and repaired as needed. Otherwise, you risk having smoke, gases, and other pollutants build up in your home, which can be dangerous to your health. In addition, a poorly-maintained chimney can lead to leaks and other problems that can cause serious damage to your home. As you can see, a chimney is an essential part of your home, and it's important to take care of it. Tough and long-lasting We take pride in the quality of repairs that we offer. We only use the finest quality materials and we also ensure that any maintenance updates, repairs, or rebuilds are done efficiently and professionally. This will ensure that your newly restored chimney and fireplace will last for a long time. To restore your chimney or fireplace, we may do a number of things including but not limited to replacing any old bricks, repairing any cracks or holes (ex. via parging) and displacing old mortar, and applying new brick mortar (i.e. brick repointing) to strengthen the structure of your fireplace or chimney and ensure water does not leak through cracks. It is important to be on the lookout for cracks and holes in your chimney. As moisture and water can enter your chimney and home through the cracks, and can also ruin the outside look of your chimney. Additionally, ensuring your fireplace is also structurally sound (i.e. no cracks/holes) and is clean with no build-up is also crucial so that your home is not in danger of back-drafting where smoke remains inside your home instead of being released outside via your chimney.
