In order to remedy this situation, we reline chimneys using an appropriate metal liner made of stainless steel, and/ or titanium. These liners are specially designed to withstand temperatures that would disintegrate clay tile.
Our liners are impervious to rain and water damage and are easier to clean and maintain than clay tiles. Most liners have a lifetime GUARANTEE. All of our chimney relining is done by Certified Professionals with over 20 years of experience working with chimneys.
The firebox is the part of the fireplace that holds the fire. In a code-worthy firebox, the firebrick is stacked and held together with high-temperature fireplace mortar. Over time, these joints can become loose or crack and even fall out. Occasionally, the brick will deteriorate and begin to crumble as well. This is an extremely dangerous condition which renders the fireplace unsafe and out of code.
Depending on the severity of the conditions, we remedy this situation by cutting out and replacing the mortar (tuckpointing) or rebuilding the firebox.

Repairing and rebuilding fireboxes is a talent that requires expertise and experience as well as a contractor’s license.
