Repair Your Fireplace to Restore Beauty & Safety

Is your fireplace damaged? Does it look ugly? Do you worry that it may soon become unsafe and cause a fire? These are all good reasons to schedule a fireplace inspection with the Chimney Sweeps Inc. crew.

We serve the greater Lakeside, California, area with complete fireplace restoration work to make your fireplace beautiful, functional and safe again. Here’s how we do it.

Restoration of the Firebox

When properly built, fireboxes include special firebricks and refractory mortar designed to withstand high temperatures. But these incinerators take a lot of punishment over the years, and eventually, they all need some kind of restorative work.

If the inside of your firebox has finally begun to show signs of age, we can repair it by replacing decayed bricks and areas of crumbling mortar. If the damage is severe, we can rebuild it with new firebricks and mortar.

Ignoring firebox damage can lead to two very serious events:

1. A house fire that starts when flames escape the firebox and come into contact with adjacent materials of the home.
2. The escape of deadly carbon monoxide and other combustion gases into your household air.

In certain cases, your best fireplace restoration solution might be to install a sturdy fireplace insert that bypasses the original firebox and serves as a fireplace unto itself. Ask our technicians about the value and benefits of a gas or wood fireplace insert.
