"Ashbusters was perfect for us.  We have young children and didn't plan to use our fireplace at the new home we purchased.  We were also smelling gas coming from it.  Ashbusters was professional, courteous, and above all explained everything they were doing.  They gave us a beautiful, clean fireplace, and they shut off the valve that was causing the gas problem.  They were everything we were looking for with the coupon we got."

"Chris was very friendly, honest and informative in checking and cleaning my fireplace and explaining how my gas logs function. May use for additional work in masonry for landscape project in the future."
Had to rebuild about one third of the fire pit then repointed the rest of it and this is the finished product.

"McKeever and partner arrived on time and cheerful. He inspected the fireplace, gave an estimate and offered suggestions. He used the proper materials for the job and went the extra mile by including pointing? to some areas not including in quote. They left the job site tidy and secure. I also felt comfortable with the cost. I am a Realtor and had been looking for a "licensed" masonry contractor I could trust and depend on for client needs. Now I have one."

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in Ladson, SC

Start with a professional inspection. If damage is limited to a few bricks or the crown, a targeted repair helps keep costs and disruption to a minimum. Severe leaning, widespread mortar failure, or major fire damage usually signals it’s time for a complete teardown and rebuild. Your contractor will outline both price tags, but remember that rebuilding a failing stack is often cheaper than repeated patch jobs and the water leaks or fire hazards they allow.

Cracks provide water with an easy path into the masonry, weakening the bricks and mortar and increasing the risk of collapse or fire. Gaps can also let hot gases and sparks escape into attic spaces. Call a chimney pro as soon as you see cracking so they can seal small joints or recommend a larger rebuild before minor damage turns into a costly emergency.

Smoke rolling back into the room often indicates a blocked flue, a broken damper, or a drafting issue. Have a sweep inspect the damper, flue liner, and any obstructions right away. Most fixes involve clearing debris, repairing the liner, or adjusting the damper so the fireplace pulls air correctly. Don’t light another fire until a professional pinpoints the cause and confirms your system is venting safely.

Most policies cover chimney repairs caused by a sudden, covered event, such as lightning, a fallen tree, or a house fire. They won’t cover damage that stems from neglected maintenance or everyday wear. Review your policy or contact your agent before scheduling work to determine what documentation your insurer requires and what costs you will be responsible for.

Component life spans vary. Clay tile or cast-in-place liners last close to 50 years, while stainless-steel liners last 15 to 20 years. Mortar requires attention every 25 to 30 years, while crowns last 50 to 75 years. Use these numbers as a maintenance roadmap: schedule regular inspections, budget for future upgrades, and replace parts before age-related cracks develop into more significant problems.
