FAQ – Fireplace Repair in Matthews NC

Signs include a smoky room, odd smells, poor flame quality, visible cracks in the firebox, or strange sounds when a fire is burning. You might also notice moisture in the firebox or white staining on exterior bricks. These issues suggest the fireplace is no longer functioning as it should and may pose a safety risk. It’s always best to schedule an inspection before using the fireplace again.

Cracks are typically caused by heat stress over time, poor original construction, water intrusion, or settling of the foundation. Each time the fireplace is used, the temperature change causes materials to expand and contract. Over time, this movement weakens the masonry or refractory panels, leading to gaps and damage. Water also accelerates deterioration if the structure is not properly sealed or capped.

It is strongly discouraged to use a fireplace showing any signs of cracking or poor ventilation. Even small gaps can allow heat to escape into surrounding walls, which increases the risk of a house fire. Inadequate drafting can cause carbon monoxide to backflow into your home. It’s essential to have the fireplace inspected and repaired to ensure safe operation.

Chimney liners are critical to safe venting and heat containment. If your liner is damaged or missing, we may use one of several repair options: cast-in-place relining, stainless steel liners, or flue repair sleeves. The method depends on the structure of your chimney and the severity of the damage. We evaluate your system and choose the most durable, long-lasting solution.

We repair all types of residential fireplaces, including wood-burning masonry units, prefabricated fireplaces, and gas log systems. Each type has different construction, venting, and safety needs. Our technicians are trained to identify system-specific problems and perform precise repairs tailored to your fireplace type and your home’s layout.

 

Yes, if your fireplace is structurally sound and meets venting requirements, we can convert a traditional wood-burning fireplace to a modern gas log system. Many homeowners in Matthews choose this upgrade for convenience and cleaner operation. We handle the full conversion process, including inspection, permits, gas line installation, and safety testing.

Foul fireplace odors are often caused by creosote buildup, moisture absorption, or air pressure pulling flue gases into the home. Sometimes, animal nesting or soot-soaked debris can be the culprit. Sealing cracks, cleaning the flue, improving draft, and applying odor-neutralizing solutions can eliminate the smell. We investigate the root cause and offer a lasting fix.

Most minor repairs can be completed within one to two hours, while more complex repairs involving structural components or relining may take several visits. After our inspection, we provide a time estimate and explain the work plan step by step. Our goal is always to minimize disruption while ensuring thorough and lasting repairs.

Yes. If your fireplace is showing dangerous signs such as smoke leaks, sudden cracking, or strong odors, we offer expedited service appointments. We prioritize safety concerns and provide fast diagnostics to address urgent repair needs. We also work with property managers and real estate professionals who require quick turnaround for occupied or for-sale homes.

Absolutely. A properly functioning fireplace improves airflow, reduces heat loss, and eliminates drafts caused by damaged dampers or flue leaks. Repairing structural components also helps retain heat within the firebox, reducing energy waste. In homes where the fireplace serves as a supplemental heat source, fixing underlying problems can lead to noticeable energy savings during colder months.
