Signs You May Need Prefab and Zero-Clearance Fireplace Repair
Many fireplaces in newer Florida homes are factory-built: a metal box with refractory panels inside and a metal chimney pipe running up through a chase. They are tested and listed as a system, so repairs need to use the parts the maker specifies. Mixing parts or patching with masonry can void that listing.
- Cracked or crumbling refractory panels
- Rust inside the firebox or on the damper
- Separated or damaged metal chimney pipe
- A model plate showing an old, discontinued unit
Refractory panel replacement
The refractory panels lining a prefab firebox crack with heat over time. Small hairline cracks are usually acceptable, but panels that are broken through, crumbling or missing pieces must be replaced, because they protect the metal box behind them. We order panels made for your model from the rating plate. Factory built fireplace repair is mostly metal fireplace repair: steel fireboxes, metal dampers and screens.
Metal chimney repair
Factory-built chimney pipe is made of listed sections with an inner and outer wall. Sections can separate, corrode near the top or be damaged by water entering from a rusted chase cover. Prefab chimney repair, often called metal chimney repair, replaces damaged sections with listed parts from the same system, and checks firestops where the pipe passes through floors and ceilings.
When repair is not worth it
Very old units whose parts are discontinued, or fireboxes that are rusted through, are often better replaced. Prefab fireplace replacement uses a new listed unit, and sometimes a new chimney pipe. See fireplace installation for that job.
