Fireplace Construction

We can build your fireplace from the ground up

Chimcare can build your fireplace from the ground up! We can rebuild back firebox walls in standard “Shiner Pattern” or a custom “Herringbone Pattern”.

New fireplace construction often includes the installation of terracotta flue liners to bring to code. This is because some older homes do not have clay flue liners and are built with only brick and mortar. Without having the chimney lined with flue tiles the chimneys are deemed unsafe and a potential fire hazard. With existing masonry fireplaces that are unlined we can install a metal flue liner to bring the existing chimney back to code and making it safe to use.

Fireplace construction also includes the installation of a fireplace damper. Dampers should have good seal to keep your conditioned (hot/cold) air from escaping out of your home. Dampers begin to warp after several years because of the extreme temperatures they are exposed to.

To determine whether your fireplace damper needs replacement, look up into the flue and if you can see any sunlight with the damper closed, consider contacting Chimcare to replace your flue damper.

Fireplace Repair

A fireplace should never be used if it is in need of repair

A rusty, nonfunctioning fireplace damper is the number-one cause for heat loss in homes with a functional fireplace. What’s worse, crumbling bricks and mortar put the combustible materials on the other side of your firewall at risk of catching fire and coming back into your home. A crumbling firebox could also indicate deterioration in your flue; even a partially blocked flue can cause insufficient ventilation.

Chimcare is a fireplace repair company that is concerned for your fireplace safety. We will gladly visit your home and inspect your chimney and fireplace to ensure that it is safe and in proper working order.
