The fireplace damper is the movable plate that opens to allow smoke to exit during a fire and closes to seal the flue when the fireplace is not in use. A stuck, corroded, or missing damper is responsible for significant home heating loss — an open flue draws conditioned air out of your home like an open window, year-round. Carter Family Chimney Service diagnoses and repairs or replaces both traditional throat dampers (located just above the firebox opening) and top-mount dampers (which seal the flue at the chimney cap level) for homeowners throughout South Richmond Hill, NY.
Cast iron throat dampers in older fireplaces frequently warp from heat cycling, accumulate rust, or have their control handles break off inside the fireplace. When a throat damper is beyond repair, we can replace it in kind or upgrade the homeowner to a top-mount damper system, which offers a superior weathertight seal and doubles as a chimney cap to block birds, squirrels, and rain. Top-mount dampers are operated from inside the home via a stainless steel pull chain attached to the damper lid, making them convenient and highly energy-efficient.
Our technicians carry a range of damper sizes and styles to complete most repairs in a single visit. Carter Family Chimney Service is available Monday through Sunday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM across Queens. If your fireplace smells of cold outside air in winter or you can hear wind noise from the firebox, call (929) 356-7855 for a damper assessment today.
