What goes into a lasting damper repair
A family business at your fireplace
Our company is family owned and operated. The technician kneeling at your fireplace answers to the family that owns the business, and so does the office that books your visit.
That means we call back when we say we will, protect your floors and give you honest advice, even when the honest answer is a simple repair instead of a new damper. We would like to be the fireplace company Camellia Gardens neighbors recommend.
A family business depends on the word of the people it has worked for. When a friend asks who fixed your fireplace, we want you to give our name without a second thought. Every damper job is held to that standard.
A rain cap to protect the new damper
A new damper in a flue with no cap will face the same rain that ruined the old one. A properly fitted cap keeps most water, debris and animals out of the flue.
If your flue has no cap or a damaged one, our technician mentions it and lists it separately. It is often the simplest way to protect the damper work you just paid for.
A cap also keeps animals and debris out, which protects the damper and smoke shelf. If you have seen nesting material or leaves in the firebox, a cap is worth talking about.
Damper specialists who explain the mechanism
Damper faults can be misleading. A handle that moves does not prove the plate moves, and a plate that opens may still leak when closed. Sorting that out takes a trained eye.
Our technicians are fireplace pros who work on dampers regularly. They explain what each part is doing in plain language, so you understand the recommendation before you approve it.
Sometimes the damper turns out to be fine and the trouble sits somewhere else. When that happens, our technicians say so plainly and point you to the part that needs attention, even when it means less work for us.
Testing the damper through its full travel
A damper repair is not finished until the plate opens all the way, closes evenly and stays where the control puts it. Our crew tests each position using the control itself, since that is how you will use it.
If the plate stops short or drifts, we adjust it before calling the job done. You see the result before we pack up, and the finished operation is written on the handover sheet.
Testing also includes checking that the plate does not rub or bind at any point. If it does, we adjust it before finishing, so you do not discover the problem on your first fire.

Your chimney damper questions, answered
Can a damper at the top of the chimney take the place of mine?
Sometimes. A top-sealing damper mounts on the flue at the top of the chimney and opens and closes with a cable. Whether it suits your fireplace depends on the flue and how you use the fireplace, and our technician explains both options before you choose.
Will damper work make a mess in my living room?
We lay drop cloths over the hearth and floor, keep tools on protected surfaces and clean up the soot before leaving. Most damper work happens inside the firebox, so the rest of the room stays as it was.
