A damper that won't close

Damper stuck open, letting air-conditioned air escape up the chimney all year? Or stuck shut so you can't light a fire? Rust, warped plates and broken handles are the usual culprits, and a damper that doesn't seal costs you comfort every day.

Our specialists free and clean a stuck damper where they can, replace the plate or handle when that's enough, and offer a sealing damper up top when the old one can't be saved. You'll see each option with its price, and which one they'd choose. Reserve a damper repair for your fireplace in Trenton by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Soot on light-colored brick

Soot stains above the opening show clearly on light brick or stone in homes in Trenton. They're a sign smoke has been escaping from the fireplace. Our pros fix the smoke first, then clean the facing with methods suited to the surface, testing a small area before starting. Harsh acids stay off the brick, since they can leave stains of their own.

Our Process

Hearth first, damper next

Identify the fireplace

First we find out if it's masonry or factory-built and read any rating plate.
Find the cause

Firebox, damper, hearth and smoke chamber are checked, and smoke problems are tested.
Materials matched to the fireplace

Refractory brick and mortar for masonry, the maker's listed parts for factory-built units.
Clean up and explain curing

The room is cleaned, and you get the waiting time before the first small fire.

Molded panels inside a metal firebox

Instead of firebrick, a factory-built firebox is lined with molded refractory panels. Those panels crack over time, and the maker's manual sets which cracks are acceptable, sometimes by width, and which mean the panel must be replaced.

The model on the rating plate leads to the right manual, the cracks are measured against it, and the maker's replacement panels are ordered when they're needed.

Panels from another brand, or patches made with the wrong compound, can break the unit's listing and won't fit the way the originals do. The part numbers and prices are on the quote before anything is ordered, so you know what's coming.

Cleaning soot from the brick face

Soot stains above the opening are a sign smoke has been spilling out. Once the cause is fixed, the stain can be cleaned, and how depends on the brick or stone.

Dry methods, like a soot sponge, come first, then cleaners suited to the surface, with a small area tested before the rest. Harsh acids are avoided, since they can etch brick and stone and leave stains of their own.

Some staining on porous brick won't come out in full, and our pros tell you what to expect before starting. Cleaning is priced separately from the repair that fixed the smoke.

Fireplace odors between fires

Odor from an unlit fireplace comes from soot and deposit in the firebox, smoke chamber and flue. Damp air makes it stronger, and a house pulling air in through the fireplace carries it into the room.

The fix starts in the firebox and smoke chamber, with a cleaning and a damper seal check, and a flue sweep follows if deposit has built up. A damper that seals tight, or a sealing damper at the flue top, keeps the smell out between fires.

If water is getting in, that's found and priced too, since damp masonry holds odor longer than dry.

FAQs

Worth fixing, or time to replace?

Why do you need to know if it's factory-built?

Masonry fireplaces are repaired with refractory brick and mortar; factory-built units need the maker's listed parts. Our specialists read the rating plate to find the right ones.

Who stands behind a fireplace repair?

We do. Our workmanship warranty covers the repair, the quote lists the materials and parts used, and factory parts also carry the maker's own warranty under its terms. Book a free fireplace inspection in Trenton at (352) 675-6366.
