What Is Firebrick?
Things can get toasty within your chimney system, especially in the firebox – the area of the fireplace that houses the flames. Although common brick is durable and heat-resistant, the firebox needs a material that is specifically designed to withstand temperatures that can reach as high as 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit to adequately protect nearby structures from heat transfer.
Firebrick is made from refractory ceramic materials and is engineered to take on extremely hot conditions. It’s also capable of handling a considerable amount of thermal shock, so it’s not affected by temperature fluctuations as your fireplace heats up when in use and cools down again after the fire is put out.
How Much Do Firebox Repairs Cost?
Firebrick is known for its durability, but it won’t last forever without proper maintenance. Even a great maintenance routine won’t rule out repairs from time to time. Natural elements like fire and water are hard to keep at bay (read up on our waterproofing services), and eventually, you may notice that the firebrick is starting to crack or chip away. This type of damage isn’t catastrophic and your chimney can be saved with early intervention.
The price of fixing a firebox can differ based on things like how much damage there is and the type of materials needed. One of our chimney technicians has to assess your chimney to get a full scope of the problem. We value integrity and transparency, and we will not try to upsell you on unnecessary services. It’s our priority to give you an accurate price quote, and we won’t know if you need a few cracks sealed or if multiple bricks have to be replaced until we can figure out what’s going on. We encourage you to reach out to us to speak to a representative if you have questions beforehand.
