Fixing a chimney damper the right way
Fireplaces with no working damper
Some fireplaces have had their damper removed, rusted away or wired permanently open. Without one, the flue stays open all year and the room loses conditioned air whenever the house is closed up.
Section R1001.7.1 of the Florida Building Code, Residential, calls for a damper in a masonry fireplace. Our technicians look at the throat, measure the opening and explain what it takes to add a working damper back, in writing and at no charge.
Adding a damper where one is missing means checking the throat for space and support. Some throats still have the seat of a damper that is gone, while others need more work to accept one. Our technicians explain which you have.
Keeping soot off your floors
Anything that moves inside the throat knocks soot loose. Without care, it ends up on the hearth, the carpet and the furniture nearby.
We cover the area, keep a vacuum made for fine soot running during the work and clean the firebox and hearth before we leave. You should find the room as tidy as it was when we arrived, with a damper that works.
If anyone in the house is sensitive to dust, let us know when you book. We can take extra steps to contain the soot during the work and air out the room afterward.
Damper work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee
Every damper repair and replacement from our team is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If the damper does not work the way we said it would, call us and we come back.
That promise sits alongside our workmanship warranty. The terms are written on your estimate before you approve the job, so there is nothing to discover later.
The guarantee covers our workmanship on the damper job. If something falls short of what we promised, we come back and make it right, and the terms are always written on your estimate.
Homes with more than one fireplace
If your home has two fireplaces, each has its own damper, and they rarely wear at the same pace. The one used most often or the one under a leaking flue usually fails first.
Our technicians can check both on the same visit. The estimate lists each damper separately, so you can decide on each one.
If both dampers need work, doing them on one visit saves time. We still price each one separately, so you can choose which to repair first.

Chimney damper questions in Dover Shores East
Is the damper inspection really free?
Yes. Both the inspection and the written estimate are free, and nothing obliges you to book the work. You keep the estimate either way.
Should the damper be fixed if an insert is coming later?
Tell us about the insert at the inspection. Its own installation instructions decide what happens to the old damper, so a repair right before an insert may be wasted money. If the insert is years away, a simple repair can still make sense, and we explain how long it should serve.
