Fireplace Damper Repair
Chimney Repair Services

A fireplace damper is generally located just above the firebox and below the flue.  A fireplace damper closes the throat or flue of the fireplace to help prevent a cold draft - air from entering your home.  The damper also serves as means of closing off the chimney in the event of a chimney fire.  Types of dampers vary depending on the fireplace type - masonry or factory-built, manufacturer and model.
