I have seven children and a ample drafty house. We've haven't lived here that long. My husband and I were told by a guy who cleaned our wood burning stove and chimney that the brick around and underneath the wood burning stove is dry (the cement or what ever inbetween the bricks) and that it needs to be redo in demand to be safe. I want to know is here any other way to take home it safe short pulling the stove off of the brick platorm and yank all the bricks out and redo it. Can I put cement over it again and just wipe it rotten of the actual bricks, leaving to crash inbetween the bricks---on top of the older dry cement? The stove is tremendously heavy as expected, and the platform that it is on is very pretty--its in recent times that the cement is coming loose. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Unless the mortar is disintegrating it should be OK. This really sounds approaching a typical home improvement scam. I would draw from this guys license number and check him out with the local contractor board. If this is legit, use just a contractor that has be referred.
