Fireplace & Chimney Repair in Carrollton, TX

Even though a fireplace might be stylish and cozy in the winter, the heat it produces will eventually damage the fireplace. In a fireplace, the fire actually starts in the firebox. It is made of firebricks and mortar, both of which can resist extremely hot temperatures. The bricks and mortar may eventually degrade due to the materials' expansion and contraction.

You can hire Stone Masters Brick Repair's services for masonry repair and can check your chimney and fireplace for cracks or decay, lightning strikes, water leaks, or smoke issues. You have found the skilled experts at Stone Masters Brick Repair who can repair stone fireplaces throughout the entire town, restoring their aesthetic appeal as well as their functionality.

Cracked and deteriorating brick or mortar water intrusion, and inappropriate firebox dimensions are the most frequent issues we encounter inside the firebox. Smoke carries the residue left over after a fire, which eventually leads to deposits forming on the walls, inside any crevices, and behind them. Sparks rising in the chimney can re-ignite this sticky substance known as creosote. Therefore, it's crucial to prevent creosote buildup on these walls and to fix any cracks as soon as they appear.

Cracked mortar can be repaired by carefully chiseling away the broken areas and pointing them with fireclay or portland cement. It should never be surface-coated or smeared, though, since this would prevent the coating from adhering to the grubby, smokey surface. It is often advised to restore the damaged wall with new firebrick and fireclay if any bricks are broken.
​
​A good chimney cap and crown should be used to stop water from entering a chimney because this can lead to a number of issues. The acidic water that enters the flue mixes with the creosote and frequently causes early rusting of the damper as well as degradation of the brick and mortar.

 Additionally, water can get in through any fractures in the chimney shell, the chimney crown, or the flashing where the chimney meets the roof. Such leaks can be difficult to locate and result in water damage to the flooring and ceiling materials next to the interior fireplace. Chimneys that are too short to prevent downdrafts and spaces between the lintel and throat that are too short to allow smoke to roll before hitting the smoke shelf are two typical design mistakes. A fireplace that draws poorly and lets smoke into your living space can be caused by either of these.

In addition to the unexpectedly frequent lightning damage, chimneys are also prone to other prevalent deterioration issues. Repairs to chimneys are among the most frequently required brick repairs, in part because of their exposure to the harsh weather conditions. Over time, both brick and mortar are susceptible to deterioration. While the bulk of bricks are hard-fired and should last well over 100 years, certain adobe or older mixtures are softer and more porous and may last only 50 years or less.

Spalling happens as a result of freeze-thaw cycles, in which rain soaks into the brick, then freezes and expands, removing thin layers of the brick from the face. These layers might ultimately start to come off and be discovered at the chimney's base or on other exposed walls. Depending on the kind of mortar used and the techniques used during initial construction, mortar joints may also degrade or prematurely develop voids.
