Short answer
Chimney damper replacement swaps a rusted, warped or broken fireplace damper for one that opens fully and closes tightly. Damper repair fixes handles, hinges and stuck plates when the frame is still sound. When a throat damper cannot seal, a top sealing damper at the chimney top is another option.

How a Throat Damper Works
Most masonry fireplaces have a throat damper: a cast-iron frame and plate just above the firebox, moved by a handle, lever or chain. Opened, it lets smoke out; closed, it keeps the flue shut. Rust, soot and heat warp the plate and frame over time, so it stops seating tightly.
Fireplace Damper Repair
Fireplace damper repair frees a stuck plate, replaces a broken handle or hinge pin and cleans the seat so the plate closes evenly. Chimney damper repair is quick when the frame is intact.
Damper Replacement
Fireplace damper replacement is needed when the frame is rusted through or warped. Throat damper replacement fits a new damper sized to the opening; fireplace damper installation at the top of the chimney, a top sealing damper, is the other route and seals better. We explain both and recommend the one that suits your fireplace.

Signs This Job Is Due
The damper is the metal plate above the firebox that you open for a fire and close afterward. In humid Florida air, cast-iron dampers rust, stick and warp, and a damper that will not close lets cooled air out and moist air in all year. Our Stuart crew repairs it when we can and replaces it when we cannot.
- A damper that sticks, will not open or will not close
- A handle or chain that turns without moving the plate
- Drafts, smells or bugs coming from the fireplace
- Rust flakes falling into the firebox
