What Is The Firebox?
The firebox is the area of your fireplace that takes on the most heat. It is the spot where the fires are actually lit and, because of this, it typically ends up experiencing a lot of wear and tear throughout every burning season. It is not uncommon for the firebox to require some repair from time to time, even if you do your best to keep it in the best shape possible.
Dangers Of A Damaged Firebox
If you are assuming that a damaged firebox will cause your fireplace to work less efficiently, you’re absolutely correct. And to make matters work, cracks and holes throughout this area will also put your home and family in potentially threatening scenarios, as well.
A major risk is the increased chances of experiencing carbon monoxide exposure. When there are openings and gaps throughout your firebox, this poisonous gas is a lot more likely to enter your home. Carbon monoxide is especially dangerous because it has no color or odor making it nearly impossible to detect until physical symptoms start to occur. If the affected person is passed out or sleeping, they may never notice its presence. Because of this carbon monoxide is known for causing hundreds of deaths every single year.
Another risk homeowners face is the potential for house fires. These same openings that gases can escape through also leave open pathways for flames and heat to reach your home’s woodwork. Avoid this threat by having your firebox’s damages addressed as soon as possible!
