Common Fireplace Issues Our Team of Professionals Can Fix
A faulty fireplace that wonโt light can have a variety of potential causes. Ranging from the pilot light to the damper, it can be tough to find the problem on your own. Luckily, youโre not alone. Blake Brothers is here to help diagnose the issue and get your gas fireplace back up and running. Our team of experts will take a look and repair the issue in no time.
We have experience repairing the most common fireplace problems, including:
Pilot Light Is Not Igniting
The pilot light in a gas fireplace is a small flame that ignites the main burner. This small flame is fueled by gas from the gas line, and it always stays lit. If it goes out, your fireplace wonโt be able to ignite the burner and turn on.
If you see that your pilot light has gone out and you canโt get it to reignite, call us for support. Weโll check for any moisture in the gas line or gas leaks, and then troubleshoot the issue.
Creosote Buildup
When you burn wood, the smoke can begin to cool and condense as it travels up the chimney. This condensed smoke becomes creosote, a black and tar-like substance that can gum up your fireplace. Over time, creosote can start to build up in your chimney and fireplace, leading to clogs. In some cases, it can collect on the main burner and prevent it from lighting.
Creosote is flammable, and can become a fire hazard if not addressed properly. Our team will thoroughly remove any creosote buildup in your fireplace and get it back up and running. We can also help make sure it doesnโt come back by ensuring your fireplace has proper airflow.
Pilot Light Is Not Staying Ignited
Your pilot light is connected to a small thermocouple that makes sure the gas line stays open and continues to feed the flame. If the thermocouple senses combustion happening in the fireplace, it will send a small electrical signal to the gas valve telling it to stay open.
If your pilot light stays lit for a minute and then always shuts off, a faulty thermocouple may be to blame. Luckily, our team members provide extensive gas fireplace repair services for homes in Decatur, Alabama and will work with you to provide speedy thermocouple maintenance and replacements.
Chimney Blockages
The chimney of your fireplace redirects the smoke from the fire out through the roof of your home, preventing a buildup inside. If something is blocking the chimney, smoke can start to fill your home. A clogged chimney can quickly become a safety hazard for all residents in the home, leading to symptoms like coughing, chest tightness, and burning eyes.
Birds love to make nests on top of chimneys, leading to a blockage. Our team can install a grate or cover on your chimney to prevent this, in addition to chimney cleanouts to check for any other potential clogs.
Dirty Fireplace
The more you use your fireplace, the more ash and creosote will build up. Itโs completely normal when youโre burning wood, but enough buildup can lead to a clogged fireplace. Ash buildup at the bottom can block the burner and prevent ignition, and sticky creosote can gum up in all the nooks and crannies.
At Blake Brothers, our professionals offer comprehensive fireplace maintenance services and have the tools necessary to give your chimney or system a deep clean that will make it look brand new.
Minimal Heat Output
Your fireplace does more than create a pleasant ambiance to enjoy while you read a book. The wood-burning fire can effectively heat your home and keep you toasty during the winter months. If your fireplace is not producing the heat you want, it can leave you out in the cold. Call us for fireplace repair, and weโll get to the bottom of the issue.
Closed or Stuck Damper
Inside your chimney is a steel flap known as a damper, and this controls how much or how little heat is released through the chimney. Whenever you make a fire, the damper needs to be at least partially open for proper airflow and to allow smoke to escape. If itโs closed, smoke will get trapped in your home.
A stuck damper can make your fireplace unusable without fear of smoke inhalation. Our team will check your damper for any damage and get it back in working order.
