Make sure the damper opens before the next fire.
A rusted or stuck damper can restrict the flue or leave the house open to outside air. We check the plate, control and surrounding throat.

The scope
What we check and document.
- Operate the damper through its full travel
- Check rust, distortion and broken controls
- Compare repair with a compatible replacement
- Demonstrate the operating position after work
Know the limits before work starts.
Gas log sets can require a damper fixed open. We follow the appliance instructions instead of making a generic seal-the-flue recommendation.
We show you the finding, agree the work and attach photographs to the invoice. Any change to the scope comes back to you for approval.

Before you book
Questions we can answer now.
Can a gas fireplace use a fully closed damper?
Do not close it unless the appliance instructions specifically allow that arrangement. We check the system type.
What should I send before the visit?
A clear photo of the fireplace or vent, your ZIP code and a short description of the problem. Add the model plate for a gas appliance.
