Wood, Gas and Pellet
Many homes started with a wood-burning fireplace and later gained gas logs in the same brick firebox. The look is classic, but the setup brings its own questions: where the damper should sit, whether the old flue is sound and how soot from earlier fires affects the new burner. Chimney Sweep White Rock handles Gas Fireplace Cleaning on these converted hearths and pairs it with a Chimney Sweep when the flue calls for one. We find these conversions all over White Rock, and they deserve a clear explanation.
Even if only gas has burned for a while, earlier wood fires may have left soot, and cracked tile or loose mortar can sit unseen. We sweep and look.
Logs and ember media go back in the layout the manufacturer designed, and the damper is checked for the right opening, so the flame burns cleanly.
