Gas Fireplace Repair in New Braunfels, TX

Yes — think of it as the diagnostic umbrella. When the fireplace won't run and you can't pinpoint which part failed, we test across ignition, valve, burner, and venting to isolate the cause. If you already know the failed component — say a technician told you the pilot assembly or the valve is the problem — you can book that specific service directly instead.

We follow the flame's logic with instruments rather than guessing. We meter the proving circuit — the thermocouple or thermopile — first, since a light-then-die fault usually lives there, then work outward to manifold pressure on the manometer, the orifice and air-shutter, the ignition module on electronic units, and draft. Each test rules a subsystem in or out, so the diagnosis is earned instead of assumed.

No. Work on gas lines, valves, and ignition systems has to be performed by a qualified, licensed technician — both to satisfy code and because gas leaks and carbon monoxide are genuine life-safety hazards. Changing your remote batteries is fine; internal gas work is not.

The starting price covers the diagnosis itself — pinpointing which component failed. Once we identify it, the repair is quoted as that specific part — thermocouple, valve, igniter, or blower — in a written, line-item estimate you approve before any work proceeds. What you're paying for is the correct diagnosis, so you never replace a healthy part.

Treat this as an emergency, not a service call. Don't operate any switches or flames, get everyone out of the home, shut off the gas at the appliance valve only if you can do it safely on your way out, and call your gas utility or 911 from outside before you arrange any repair.

Someone who's worked lime and can tell you what fachwerk is without looking it up — ask directly, and ask to see examples. The failure mode on these houses is well-meaning modern repair: portland mortar, cement stucco, aggressive grinding. All three do permanent damage to soft historic fabric. We work these chimneys with lime mortars and hand tools, and when a detail calls for a conservator, we say so instead of guessing.

It stretches every drying cycle, which multiplies small leaks. Masonry near the rivers sits in humid air most of the year, so a cracked crown or open joint that might self-limit in dry country just keeps feeding. Watch for moss lines, green shadowing on north faces, and white mineral bloom. The fix is boring and it works: sound crown, sound joints, a good cap, and flashing that's actually sealed.

A current photographed inspection report, dated and on file — it shows the flue's condition, the firebox clearances, and that combustion gases vent the way they should. If guests burn wood, keep the sweeping receipts too. It protects your guests first and your liability second, and if anything ever happens, dated documentation is the difference between an incident and a lawsuit. We write ours to be kept.
