Fireplace Repair, Delaware CountyYour Local Fireplace Repair Pros in Delaware County, PA
Plenty of Delaware County fireplaces were closed off years ago when the house switched to a basement boiler, and now owners want them back. Others have been in use all along and show it: cracked firebrick, burned-out mortar joints, a damper that sticks and a smoke chamber that leaks smoke into the room. Before reopening a fireplace, we confirm it has its own sound flue, separate from the heating system. Then we rebuild the firebox, replace the damper, parge the smoke chamber and repair the hearth.

Fireplace Repair for Delaware County Homes
The Grange Estate in Havertown, built in 1750 and enlarged through the 1850s, is on the National Register. Older homes like those nearby often have large fireplaces that need firebox and damper work before they can be used regularly again.
The Minshall House, built around 1750 on Route 252, still stands in Media. Fireplaces in houses of that age were built for open fires, and we repair them so they burn safely today while keeping their original look.
We repair fireplaces in Haverford, Media, Radnor, Swarthmore and Marple.
