Your Local Fireplace Repair Pros in Passaic County, NJ

In the northern part of Passaic County, wood still heats a share of homes, and a fireplace there may see real use all winter. In the older cities, fireplaces in big Victorian and Tudor houses often sit idle for years. Both lead to the same repairs: cracked firebrick, washed-out joints, rusted dampers and rough smoke chambers. Our local crew rebuilds fireboxes with proper refractory materials, fits new dampers, smooths smoke chambers and looks up the flue, so the fireplace drafts well and burns safely.

Fireplace Repair for Passaic County Homes

The Passaic Park section of the city of Passaic is known for its large park and big homes in several styles, especially Queen Anne and Tudor. Houses like those often have more than one fireplace, and each firebox and damper needs its own check.

Through the 1800s the Pompton Lakes area stayed largely rural, with summer resorts around Pompton Lake serving visitors from New York. Fireplaces in former seasonal houses were often built for occasional use, and they may need repair before heavy winter burning.

We repair fireplaces in Passaic, Pompton Lakes, Wayne, Clifton and West Milford.

Fireplace Repair Questions in Passaic County

My fireplace draws poorly when the furnace is running. Why?
In a tight house, the furnace and exhaust fans compete with the fireplace for air, and the fireplace loses. A cold or oversized flue also weakens the draft. We test the draft and suggest fixes, from damper and firebox changes to a properly sized liner.
Can a fireplace be converted to a wood stove insert?
Often, yes. The insert gets its own liner running from its collar up through the crown, and the firebox has to be sound enough to hold it. We look at both, then walk you through the steps.
Why does my fireplace smoke?
A closed or broken damper, a cold flue, a blocked flue or a firebox that is too big for the flue can all cause it. We find which one.
