During this home inspection, these home buyers learned the base of their fireplace was cracked and would require repairing. I offered to do the repair, but it wasn't until we began cleaning it up that we realized just how big the damage was.
I used a specially rated Furnace Cement and it came out great. This was my first time using it and the consistency was easy to work with. I highly encourage anyone to complete this repair themselves and look forward to the next one!

Could I use this to reblock three blocks of a fireplace or should I mix it with motr

What was the weight of the containers of cement that you used?

It was the 16oz tub but I needed about 1.25 tubs total for this project. I think the link for it is in the comments or description!

Hello, i bought a condo in Vermont that was built in 1970 and it fireplace that looks very similar to this one in your video, but it is one that has only 2 (left and back) sides and the right side is open with a screen on it like the front has. The Left side has metal sheathing (i would think it is 1/16 inch think) but it is buckling very bad, like over time the heat of the fireplace caused it to buckle in and kind if wrinkle if you can imagine that. It appears to be screwed in to the firebricks behind it. Can i just take this off and get a metalshop to flatten it out and re-install it ? Have you seen this before? Thanks!

Wow I’m really not sure. On one hand if it’s just warped it may not be an issue. On the other if the strength or performance has been compromised you’ll like need to replace it.. maybe send some pictures to a chimney or fireplace repair company!Sorry I can’t be of more help!

Yikes, I’m not 100% sure on that. I would start with a company specializing in fireplace or chimney repair.

Is it cured by fire?

Can you use the same cement for small cracks on the panels?

I have the same issue in my 85 year old 8:13 fireplace, however I have a gas starter that is located amongst the rubble. Will this still work as a repair?
@TheDIYrealtor
@TheDIYrealtor 7 месяцев назад
So cool! I believe it will as long as the starter is not covered with it.

Our chimney doesn’t have the metal net it’s almost like a metal sheet and it seems like a deeper hole. Will this still work?
@TheDIYrealtor
@TheDIYrealtor 6 месяцев назад
I think it should as long as it has something to adhere to. The mesh acts as mini rebar, so I’m not 100% sure about your situation but if it was built that way and the material surrounding the hole is some sort of concrete as well, I don’t see why not.

I have just put the fireplace cement in my fire but how do I light a fire now to harden the cement as the grate for fire just sinks into cement so no clue how to light fire now. I'm stuck and confused
@TheDIYrealtor
@TheDIYrealtor 5 месяцев назад
Just give it a few minutes to harden a bit and I believe you’re good to light

I wonder if recoating it with self healing concrete later may be a good idea...

Hmm would be awesome assuming it can take the temperature!
