Fire Table Inspection

August 14, 2025

The Warm Glow of Backyard Evenings

There’s something special about gathering around a gas fire table in your backyard. With just the turn of a knob, you can enjoy the warmth, ambiance, and dancing flames — without the mess of wood or the hassle of cleaning up ashes. Whether it’s roasting marshmallows with family, or simply relaxing after a long day, a gas fire table turns your patio into a year-round retreat.

But like any gas appliance, the beauty and convenience come with a responsibility: ensuring your fire table is installed and maintained correctly. A safe, well-installed gas line is at the heart of that peace of mind.

When a Gas Line Becomes a Hazard

During a recent inspection, we came across a common but dangerous problem. This is a photo of the gas line leading to a fireplace. The section of pipe underground was wrapped in protective tape, but where the gas line met the ground, the exposed metal had begun to rust. Over time, this corrosion will worsen until it leaks combustible gas — a serious safety hazard.

Even though the buried portion was protected, the above-ground section was still exposed to rain, snow, and fluctuating temperatures. Weather and outdoor conditions will eventually cause unprotected pipes to rust through, leading to dangerous leaks and potentially severe consequences. It is important to use the right pipe for the job.

Code Compliance Matters

Sometimes when we inspect a fire pit or fireplace, we find that the gas line was not installed according to building codes, the manufacturer’s requirements, or with proper materials. These oversights can shorten the lifespan of the system, void warranties, and put you at risk.

How We Help Protect Your Investment

When we find an issue, we document it with photos, explain the problem in plain language, and recommend a solution. Our goal is simple — to help you enjoy your fire table or fireplace for years to come without unexpected safety concerns.

Because nothing should interrupt those warm, cozy evenings in your backyard.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Over the past few years my wife has smelled natural gas as she walked through our family room to the kitchen. We've had the gas company come out, plumbers come out and no one found any leak. I don't have a sense of smell so we do have Natural Gas Alarms in the house but this time she called Buck at Denver Flame. He checked every possible place we could have a leak-furnace, hot water heater, gas stove, and fireplace. He took his time and really worked to find the leak - and it WAS in our fireplace, but not where all the gas lines were, it was in the upper part above the firebox where it attaches to the flue system. Our gas fireplace was original in the house, about 24 years old, but Buck diagnosed the problem. He gave us some recommendation on Fireplace shops and one of the salesmen we spoke to knew Buck and gave us a wholesale price so we bought a new gas fireplace and are having Buck install it. He came out the next day after we called him, took time to explain what we needed, and found him to be reliable and honest.
