Lincolnshire is a village west of Lake Forest, with more recently built neighborhoods than some of the older towns on the lake. In newer houses it is common to find a factory-built fireplace, a firebox and metal flue that are built as a unit instead of laid in brick.

Factory-built fireplaces need different care than masonry ones. The metal flue pipes and the cap matter more, and the parts have to be used with the exact components the manufacturer specified. We look at how the flue is assembled, whether the cap is secure, and whether anything has rusted or shifted.

If you moved into a newer Lincolnshire home and you are not sure what kind of fireplace you have, tell us what you can see. We will help you figure it out.

Questions from Lincolnshire homeowners

Does a newer house need chimney maintenance?

Yes. A newer chimney is less likely to have crumbling brick, but metal flues and caps still need to be cleaned and checked.

Do you work in Lincolnshire?

Yes. It is part of our regular service area.

Can you tell if my fireplace is factory-built?

Usually, yes. A photo from the roof or the firebox helps, and we confirm on site.
