Get matched with top fireplace pros in Bismarck, ND

Q: What repairs are frequently needed for a non-gas pre-fabricated fireplace unit?

• <div><p>Cracked panels, worn-out seals, faulty dampers, and firebrick damage often need professional attention.</p></div>

Q: Can I inspect my own chimney?

• <div><p>Homeowners can conduct basic visual inspections and cleaning, but professionals provide thorough checks that identify hidden issues safely.</p></div>

Q: How long does fireplace installation take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 5-10 days, including foundation work, masonry, and finishing.</p></div>

Q: Can you burn wood filled with sap?

• <div><p>Sap, despite its stickiness, is primarily made of water and is responsible for wood being &ldquo;green&rdquo; when it&rsquo;s first cut. Green wood doesn&rsquo;t burn very easily and will snap and crackle a lot, not ideal for a fire pit or fireplace. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s best to let fresh, sap-filled wood season or dry out for at least a season before you start burning.</p></div>

Q: Should you block both the top and bottom of your chimney?

• <div><p>You should never block both the top and bottom of your chimney. Proper airflow is essential because the temperature inside the chimney will still fluctuate as your house warms and cools. Moisture can build up without ventilation, leading to dampness in your walls over time. Blocking the top prevents debris and animals from entering, but the chimney still needs air circulation to avoid condensation issues. Allowing the chimney to breathe maintains the health of your home and prevents long-term damage.</p></div>

Sap, despite its stickiness, is primarily made of water and is responsible for wood being “green” when it’s first cut. Green wood doesn’t burn very easily and will snap and crackle a lot, not ideal for a fire pit or fireplace. That’s why it’s best to let fresh, sap-filled wood season or dry out for at least a season before you start burning.
