Common Causes of Firebox Damage
What’s typical in terms of firebox damage? Here’s what we most often discover in the homes of our customers…
- Water Damage: When it comes to your fireplace and chimney, water is a common all-around enemy, and that’s true for your firebox, too. If water pools in your firebox, the excess moisture will eventually cause things to start deteriorating and breaking down.
- Chimney Fires: Chimney fires affect all of your chimney components, and your firebox is no exception.
- Carelessness: It’s worth mentioning that sometimes the cause of damage is on the part of the homeowner. If wood is carelessly thrown into the firebox, it can cause damage, especially if you have refractory panels that are getting bumped in the process.
- Typical Wear & Tear: Even if you did everything right in terms of fireplace care, it’s still likely that at some point in time your firebox will experience damage due to regular wear and tear. Like we’ve mentioned, the firebox takes on a lot of heat, so it’s bound to experience a least minor damage now and then.
But whatever the cause, whatever the issue, we have the expertise to fix it.
Can I Put Off Firebox Repairs?
As with most chimney/fireplace-related issues, putting off repair work is not recommended. We understand the expense and hassle involved can seem daunting, but these types of issues only worsen with time – so the longer you wait, the more costly (and time-consuming) your repairs will end up being. The sooner you act, the more you save!
That said, if firebox repairs are simply not an option for you right now, don’t put your fireplace to use until you’ve had the repairs made. If your firebox is worn down, cracked, and showing signs of deterioration, you’ll be more at risk for carbon monoxide exposure, smoke inhalation, and even house fires.
