Dampers are the “plate” or “door” that you open before lighting a fire. A chimney damper seals off the chimney flue while it is not in use and keeps that valuable cool or warm air in your house.
When your damper is no longer operating correctly, it may fail to open properly, causing smoke to enter the home. Even worse, if the damper does not close properly, you may be losing hundreds of dollars in heating costs up the chimney.
Mr. Chimney Man…
- Cleans out the track that the damper sits in, makes adjustments, and cleans off the smoke shelf to allow your damper to work as it was originally intended;
- Installs a new chimney cap or damper unit when your existing damper cannot be repaired, is missing, rusted through, or otherwise leaky;
- Uses “ice breaker” dampers that have full stainless screening to prevent animal entry if left open. for This damper is perfect for Syracuse areas weather and is the only cap/damper unit that ensures creosote deposits do not prevent the damper from properly opening and closing by having the spring mechanisms out of the path of exiting smoke
