Fireplaces and Flues
Heat, ash and the occasional heavy log are hard on the brick and mortar that line a firebox. Over time, firebrick cracks, joints open and a grate bends. While Chimney Sweep Tsawwassen handles the Chimney Sweep, we look at these surfaces and show you anything worth watching. The same attention goes into Gas Fireplace Maintenance, where fire panels, log supports and the base of the burner get a once-over. Most households in Tsawwassen never look inside their fire chamber, so we are glad to do it with you.
The flue is brushed and vacuumed, and the firebrick and mortar around it are looked over, with any cracks, gaps or glazing explained in plain terms.
In gas fireplaces we inspect the liner panels, log supports and burner base, noting any crumbling, rust or movement before it spreads.
