Chimney Damper Installation & Replacement in MA & RI

Control your chimney's draft and seal out cold air, animals, and energy loss with a properly functioning damper.

A chimney damper controls the flow of air through your flue. When the fireplace is in use, it's open β€” allowing smoke and gases to vent. When not in use, a properly sealed damper keeps cold outdoor air from flooding your home and prevents animals and debris from entering. Stuck, broken, or missing dampers are one of the most common chimney problems we encounter β€” and one of the easiest to fix.

DAMPER TYPES

Types of Chimney Dampers

Throat Damper

Located just above the firebox. The most common type in existing homes. We repair and replace stuck, rusted, or broken throat dampers.

Top-Sealing Damper

Installed at the very top of the chimney, operated by a pull chain. Creates a much tighter seal β€” reducing energy loss and keeping animals out. An excellent upgrade for most fireplaces.
