Inside a top damper installation in Riverside Acres
Plain answers about top dampers in Riverside Acres, from the crew that fits them.
Stopping downdrafts while the fireplace is idle
An open flue lets outside air fall down the chimney and into the room, often carrying the smell of old soot with it. A worn throat damper does little to stop that flow.
A closed top damper shuts the air path at the top of the flue. It will not fix a draft problem while a fire is burning, which has other causes, but it does stop air moving down an idle chimney. If the draft comes from somewhere else, such as a door or a vent near the fireplace, we say so.
What happens to the existing cap
Many flues already have a cap, and a top damper may need it removed, changed or replaced by a combined unit. It depends on how the cap mounts and whether it leaves room for the lid to open.
We tell you in writing what happens to your current cap. If it can stay, that saves money. If it cannot, the removal and any new cap appear as their own lines, and the old cap is taken away. A cap that comes off in good condition can be left with you if you want it.
Workmanship warranty and the maker's warranty
Our installation work is covered by our workmanship warranty, with the terms written into your estimate. The damper itself carries the maker's product warranty on its own terms.
Some makers tie their warranty to installation steps, such as fitting a safety device. We follow those steps and leave the paperwork with you, so both warranties are easy to use if you ever need them. The warranty terms and the maker's paperwork go into the same folder as the operating notes.
A family-owned team at your fireplace
Our company is family owned and operated. The care we would give our own fireplace is the care that goes into fitting a damper on yours. The same people who quote the job are the ones you reach when you have a question months later.
You deal with people who explain what they are doing, answer the phone when you call back with a question and stand behind the work after the job is done. That continuity is part of why the handover and the paperwork matter to us.
