Top and Bottom Damper Installation Services

A damper helps seal your fireplace when not in use. When your fireplace is sealed correctly, it slows down the flow of smoke inside your home and prevents heat from traveling up and out of your chimney. We have two types of dampers available for installation: a top damper and a bottom damper, also known as a throat damper.

As the name implies, top dampers are installed towards the top part of the chimney. Not only does this accessory keep the heat inside, but it also prevents animals, insects, and other debris from entering your home. A top damper is an excellent choice when your existing damper is broken, or there is no current damper installed.

Throat dampers, also called fireplace dampers, are placed above the fireplace and built into the chimney. This accessory is a particularly effective damper for keeping warm air in your house, as it seals the chimney off at its "throat." It is important to note that this is a built-in structure, which means it is more challenging to replace and is recommended for new construction.

Get in touch with one of our professionals to assist you with the damper that will work best for your property.

Protect Your Chimney from Moisture With a Rain Cap

It may sound rather obvious, but your chimney is a large hole in your roof designed to let out heat, smoke, and gases. While the core purpose is to vent out, it also lets in debris and moisture from rain and snow. With a chimney cap, you can reap all the benefits of a chimney and avoid suffering the detriments.

Also known as a rain cap, this accessory feature a cover of stainless steel, galvanized steel, or copper over a screen. Trust us when we say that you don't want water to erode your chimney from the inside out. Call today for more information.
