Gas Fireplaces, Backyard Fire& Old Farmhouse ChimneysChimney, fireplace and masonry service for Hilliard, Galloway, Amlin and the west side of Columbus

Most Hilliard homes went up in the last thirty years, and many have a gas or factory-built fireplace that's never been serviced. Those same backyards are now getting stone fire pits and outdoor fireplaces. Head west toward Big Darby Creek and you'll still find 1800s farmhouses with original brick chimneys. Our crew works out of Westbelt Drive near I-270 and Roberts Road, and dispatch answers 24/7.

Gas fireplaces need service too

The yearly gas fireplace check

No ash doesn't mean no maintenance. Pilots get dirty, glass hazes over, and vent caps fill with nests. Our annual service covers it all.

TEST

Safety first

Gas leak check at the valve and fittings, and a test of the room's CO alarm.

CLEAN

Pilot & burner

Pilot assembly, thermocouple and burner ports cleaned so the fire lights fast and burns evenly.

GLASS

Clear the haze

White film removed from the glass, gasket checked, and logs reset in the right positions.

VENT

Outside termination

The vent cap on the siding or roof checked for blockages, damage and proper clearances.

Outdoor fireplaces built to survive Ohio winters

Real footings

Outdoor fireplaces sit on footings below frost depth so they don't heave and crack the first winter.

Firebrick inside

Fireboxes lined with firebrick and refractory mortar, not landscape block that cracks from heat.

Gas or wood

Wood-burning for the crackle, or gas burners on a key valve for instant fires.

HOA-friendly plans

Drawings and material samples ready for your homeowners association review if needed.

Farmhouses that were here before the subdivisions

Before Hilliard grew into a suburb, this was farm country. Many 1800s farmhouses still stand, often with a chimney that hasn't been touched in decades.

Unlined flues

Old farm chimneys were bare brick inside. A stainless liner makes a wood stove or furnace vent safe again.

Wind-worn tops

Open country means strong wind. Loose top courses are rebuilt and capped.

Barn owls & raccoons

Rural chimneys attract wildlife. Screened caps keep them out after a humane removal.

Soft old brick

Repointed with lime-based mortar suited to hand-fired farm brick.

FAQ

West side fireplace questions

Dispatch picks up 24/7 at (380) 209-1812.

When should I call your 24/7 dispatch line?

Any time. A gas fireplace that won't light before a holiday gathering, a chimney cap torn off in a storm or water leaking at the chimney all get handled. If you smell gas or a CO alarm goes off, leave the house and call 911 and your gas company first.

Does a gas fireplace really need yearly service?

Yes. Pilots and burners get dirty, glass builds up a film, and vent caps can be blocked by nests. An annual check keeps it lighting reliably and venting safely.

My prefab fireplace has cracked panels and rust. Can it be fixed?

Sometimes panels can be replaced. If the unit is old, discontinued or badly rusted, replacing it with a new wood or gas unit is often safer and simpler.

What does it take to build an outdoor fireplace?

A proper footing below frost depth, a firebrick-lined firebox and a chimney sized for the opening. We handle design, any HOA drawings and the full build.

Can my old farmhouse chimney be used again?

Usually, after an inspection, top repairs and a stainless liner. We'll tell you honestly if it needs more work.

Do you remove animals from chimneys?

We work with humane wildlife removal when needed, then install a screened cap so they can't return.

What areas do you serve?

Old Hilliard and all of Hilliard, Norwich and Brown Townships, Amlin, Dublin, Lake Darby, Galloway, Lincoln Village, the Hilltop, Westland and Grove City.
