Firebox Masonry Services
Your firebox endures extreme heat and requires expert care to remain safe and efficient. At MCP Chimney & Masonry, we repair and rebuild firebox masonry with heat-resistant materials that deliver lasting strength, performance, and safety for your home.
Repairing / Tuckpointing Existing Fireboxes
“The firebox endures extreme heat—up to 800°F—and is often the first part of a fireplace to show damage. Cracked bricks or worn mortar should be repaired quickly to protect your chimney and home. Our technicians can tuck-point joints or rebuild the firebox with firebricks and high-temperature mortar, restoring its safety and strength.”
Prefabricated (metal) fireboxes
Many prefabricated (metal) fireboxes use refractory panels that must be replaced once cracked. MCP Chimney & Masonry provides expert firebox repair and replacement, including wood-burning fireplace services, throughout Montgomery County and the DC metro area. Contact us for details
Smoke Chamber Repairs
The smoke chamber sits above the firebox and directs smoke into the flue. Cracks here can disrupt drafting and are hard to reach. MCP solves this with a state-of-the-art repair method—spraying a specialized liquid mortar with compressed air to seal cracks and restore proper function.
