Common Fireplace Problems We Fix

Smoke Entering Your Room

Smoke Entering Your Room

One of the most frustrating fireplace issues Portland homeowners face is smoke billowing into their living space instead of going up the chimney. This dangerous problem often stems from damaged smoke chambers, improper damper operation, or structural issues that our team quickly diagnoses and repairs to restore proper ventilation.

Damaged or Deteriorating Masonry

Damaged or Deteriorating Masonry

Portland’s wet climate takes a toll on fireplace masonry, causing mortar joints to crack, bricks to spall, and structural integrity to weaken over time. Our skilled masons specialize in matching original materials and techniques, especially important for the many historic homes throughout Laurelhurst, Irvington, and Grant Park neighborhoods.

Faulty Dampers and Fireplace Components

Faulty Dampers and Fireplace Components

A stuck, warped, or broken damper not only wastes energy but creates serious safety hazards by allowing animals, debris, and moisture into your home. We repair or replace dampers, install new chimney caps, and ensure all fireplace components work together seamlessly for optimal performance and protection.

Water Damage and Leaks

Water Damage and Leaks
