Canton knows what a flooded gas appliance looks like — the Pigeon River valley lost hearths and gas connections that had to be inspected and often replaced. If you're rebuilding and want to do it right, we carry Mendota at our Asheville showroom, 629 Emma Rd, 20 minutes west, and install it across Haywood County as your licensed gas contractor. Call (828) 545-0525.
Rebuilding a hearth after the water
A lot of Canton homes came through the flooding with gas fireplaces and lines that simply can't be trusted until they're inspected — submerged valves, controls, and connections don't just dry out and work again. If you're replacing rather than repairing, a Mendota FullView is a way to rebuild with the best flame we carry. We inspect and pressure-test every gas connection before it's put back into service, because a water-damaged line is not something to guess about.
Set for your fuel, permitted through Haywood
Canton is mixed-fuel: some homes on a gas main, many on propane, and the FullView FV41 is a natural fit for the propane side at 40,000 BTU LP. We set the orifice and pressure for whatever you run so it burns clean, then pull the Haywood County permit and meet the inspector — connecting that line is licensed work no showroom can legally do. The valley's morning fog and damp are also hard on dampers, so a sealed direct-vent unit ages better than an open flue here.
See it lit, then we quote
Mendota is dealer-only, so plan to see the FullView burning at 629 Emma Rd — a 20-minute drive — before you decide; there's no online cart for a hand-built fireplace. Then we follow up with a free in-home assessment in Canton. Call (828) 545-0525.
