A functioning chimney damper is essential for controlling airflow into your fireplace, keeping conditioned air inside your San Antonio home when the fireplace is not in use, and preventing wildlife and outdoor air from entering the chimney. Throat dampers — the traditional cast-iron plate located just above the firebox opening — are prone to rust, warping, and broken handles over time, leaving them stuck in the open or closed position. Chimney Care Chimney Sweeps repairs and replaces both throat dampers and modern top-mount dampers to restore proper draft control and energy efficiency.
Top-mount dampers are an excellent upgrade option for homes with damaged or inefficient throat dampers. Installed at the top of the chimney and operated by a stainless steel cable that runs down the flue to a handle inside the firebox, top-mount dampers also serve as a chimney cap — sealing the flue with a silicone gasket when closed to deliver far better energy efficiency than a traditional throat damper. They eliminate drafts, keep rain and animals out, and are especially popular in San Antonio homes where heating and cooling costs are a year-round concern.
If you've noticed cold drafts coming from your fireplace when it's not in use, difficulty opening or closing your damper, or visible rust and corrosion on the damper plate, those are clear signs that repair or replacement is needed. Our technicians diagnose damper issues during every chimney inspection and can usually complete repairs during the same visit.
