Damper work, from handle to plate

Re-hanging a plate that has dropped

A plate can come off its pivots and drop onto the smoke shelf or hang crooked in the frame. The fireplace then has no working closure, even though every part may still be present.

Where the plate and its pivot points are intact, re-hanging it in the frame may be all that is needed. We check that it sits true, opens fully and reconnects to the control. If a pivot lug has broken, re-hanging will not hold, and we explain the repair or replacement that will. We refit what can be refitted before suggesting new parts.

What a throat damper seal can achieve

A cast throat damper closes metal against metal. Even a new one leaves small paths for air around the plate. That is normal for the design and not a sign of poor work.

What you should expect after repair is a plate that closes fully and evenly, without wide gaps or rattle. If you want a closer seal than a throat damper gives, tell us. We explain the options and what each would change, rather than promising more from the throat damper than it can deliver.

Our workmanship warranty on damper work

The damper work we complete is covered by our workmanship warranty. It applies to the parts we freed, re-hung or replaced, and the written record of the work lists them.

If a repair of ours does not hold as it should, tell us and we look at it again. The terms for your job are explained before you approve the work, so you know what they cover from the start. Keep the written record with your fireplace papers, since it shows which parts the warranty concerns.

A family team on your fireplace damper

We are a family-owned, locally owned team. The person who inspects your damper explains the findings in plain terms, points to the part at fault and answers your questions before any work is agreed.

That matters on small jobs like dampers, where the fault is easy to misread from the room. You can ask questions during the inspection and again when the work is done. If you would like to see the part that failed, we show it to you before it is hauled away with the other debris.

Throat damper questions, answered plainly

Should the damper stay open when the fireplace is idle?

No. When there is no fire, a closed damper keeps room air from escaping and keeps outside air, insects and noise out. Open it fully before lighting and close it once the fire is out and cool.

Will you show me the damper part that failed?

Yes, if you would like to see it. We point out the worn pivot, broken lug or bent rod before replacing it. Old parts are then bagged and hauled away with the rest of the debris.

Will replacing the damper cure a smoky fire?

Only if the damper caused it. We check the damper's travel first. If it opens fully and smoke still spills, we explain the other possible causes and which service handles each. A working damper is not replaced to treat a draft problem.
