Working with us in Atlantic Beach
A damper is the plate that closes a fireplace flue when no fire is burning, and a stuck or rusted one can turn a quiet evening into a smoky room. Florida's residential code calls for a masonry fireplace to have a ferrous metal damper at least 8 inches above the top of the opening. That throat damper pivots on a frame, opened by a handle, lever or rotating control, and its plate rests on a seat when closed.
It fails in predictable ways, including rust that freezes the pivot, a plate that has warped and no longer seals, a handle that has broken off its linkage, or a plate that has dropped out of its frame altogether. To tell whether a damper is open, shine a flashlight up past the lintel with no fire burning, where an open damper shows the flue and a closed one shows metal, or hold a strip of tissue near the throat and watch for movement.
A sticky damper can sometimes be freed and adjusted. A damper that is rusted through or warped is replaced, either with a new throat damper sized to the opening or with a top-sealing damper, which is a gasketed plate at the top of the flue opened by a cable, and which doubles as a rain cover.
A vented gas log set brings its own rule, since its instructions require the damper to be held open, and any new damper has to allow that. The estimate states which type we recommend and why. When a damper plate has fallen, it can block the flue or sit on the smoke shelf, so the damper check comes before any fire.
A broken handle or chain is a small repair, while a frame rusted into the masonry is a larger one. Rust on a damper also points to water getting in. For owners in Atlantic Beach, the estimate lists each damper option, from freeing the pivot to a new top-sealing damper.

FAQ
Questions from Atlantic Beach
How do I book a visit in Atlantic Beach?
Call (904) 920-5495 or send the short form with your address and what you are seeing. We call back to set a time, and we ask a few questions first so the right tools come on the first trip. If the problem is a leak, a smoky fireplace or a stuck damper, mention it on the call, because it changes what we bring.
Is there a warranty on the work?
There is. Our work carries a workmanship warranty, and the written estimate and the final invoice describe what it covers. Parts such as caps, liners and gas components also carry their maker's warranty terms, which we pass along in writing. If something we did is not right, call the same number you booked with and we come back to look at it.
Do you remove animals from chimneys in Atlantic Beach?
We clear animals, nests and debris from flues and then close the top with a screened cap so the path in is shut. Some animals are protected by law, such as chimney swifts, whose active nests stay until the young have left, and bats during their maternity season, so what we can do and when depends on what is in the flue. We identify it first and explain the legal timing before any removal.
