A fireplace in Newark works from October to April, then sits idle through humid summer months. Freeze and thaw, wood smoke and deep cold do the damage here. This is what we actually find, and what we check on every visit.
Wood burning is common across Licking County, and steady wood heat comes with creosote — tarry buildup inside the flue that hardens into a glazed layer. That layer can ignite, and a chimney fire can crack liners and spread beyond the flue. Regular cleaning removes the buildup before it becomes the emergency.
Water gets into a chimney crown, a mortar joint or a hairline crack, then freezes, expands, and pries the masonry wider. Repeat that cycle all winter in Newark and bricks start to spall, crowns split, and mortar crumbles. We check the crown, joints and flashing on every inspection and point out damage early.
Homes in the lake-effect belts — downwind of the Great Lakes in Michigan, Wisconsin, and northern Illinois and Indiana — can get heavy snow while towns an hour away stay clear. Snow buries caps, adds freeze load to masonry, and melts down open flues in a thaw. A sound, screened cap matters more here.
Plenty of Newark homes run both worlds: a working wood fireplace they still enjoy, and a newer gas insert fitted into another firebox — or the same one converted. Each needs different care. Wood needs creosote removal and liner checks; gas needs pilot, burner and sensor service. We service both in one visit.

Deep cold is when the fireplace works hardest and when a marginal part finally fails. A thermocouple worn thin, a thermopile putting out too little voltage, or a pilot orifice narrowed by dust can all hold through a mild week and drop out in a cold snap. We test each part in order and replace only what failed.
Real enough that cleaning is scheduled around it. Creosote builds on flue walls with every fire, and a hot fire or a stray spark can ignite the glazed layer, turning the flue itself into a fire that cracks liners and damages masonry. Annual cleaning, burning dry wood, and keeping fires hot rather than smoldering all lower the risk.
Do not light a fire. Raccoons and birds nest in open flues through spring and summer in Ohio, and a nest blocks the draft and holds moisture against the liner. Lighting under a blockage pushes smoke and carbon monoxide into the room. We remove the blockage, check the flue for damage, and fit a screened cap.
Idle months are the usual cause. Dust settles in the pilot orifice, insects reach the burner ports, and a thermocouple that was already tired gives up while the unit sits through humid summer weather. Most fall no-light calls are one small part or a thorough service — cleaning, pilot and burner checks, and a test fire before we leave.
Yes — that conversion is one of the most common jobs in Newark, where many homes have a sound masonry firebox and are tired of hauling wood. A sealed gas insert uses the existing chimney as its chase, lights by remote, and ends creosote worries for that fireplace. Start with a free estimate and we will measure the firebox.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every fireplace fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
