Firebox Repair
Rebuilding cracked firebrick and failed joints in the firebox so your fireplace is safe to burn again.
The firebox is where the fire actually burns, so it takes the most direct heat of any part. Firebrick cracks and mortar joints wash out over time, exposing the steel or framing behind. We replace failed firebrick and repack the joints with high-heat refractory materials so the firebox is safe and solid.
