Flue & Damper Repair Services

A properly functioning flue and damper are essential to the safe and efficient use of any fireplace or stove. The flue allows smoke and gases to escape, while the damper controls airflow and heat retention. When either of these components is damaged or misaligned, it can result in poor draft, smoke spillage, or energy loss. Our expert technicians specialize in flue and damper repair to restore full functionality to your system.

Whether your damper is stuck, rusted, or no longer seals properly, or your flue liner has cracks or obstructions, we provide prompt and professional repair services. Our repairs ensure that your fireplace operates safely, improves energy efficiency, and complies with all local codes.

Signs You Need Flue or Damper Repair

If you experience difficulty opening or closing your damper, notice cold drafts entering your home, or smell smoke even when your fireplace isn't in use, these are strong indicators of a damaged flue or faulty damper. Excessive creosote buildup, unusual noises, or poor draft performance also point to the need for repair.

Our team inspects the entire flue system with video scanning and manual tools to identify cracks, corrosion, and blockages. We also test damper alignment and seal integrity, offering repairs or full replacements where necessary for safety and performance.
