Most fireplaces/chimneys were originally built with a cast iron damper. Unfortunately these types of dampers warp and rust out over time, preventing your fireplace from becoming properly sealed.

We just had our chimney and dryer vent cleaned and we're very pleased. They were punctual, professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them.
Most professional. Clean and efficient. Would recommend them to anyone who needed their chimney cleaned.
Anton was ontime friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. He talked through everything while we looked at the camera during our inspection and I never felt like he was talking down to me. He answered my questions and provided advise with multiple options. I would recommend and work with him again!
We have 2 gas fireplaces in our home. It was built in 2012. 1 of the fireplaces stopped working before Covid. The other, seemed to work just fine. We thought it would be a simple cleaning to get the non-working unit going. We were wrong. Come to find, the previous homeowners did not care for our.

May 1st - or May Day - Chimney Sweeps' Day! as it is better known - has a long and proud history. And chimney sweeps played a major part in its creation. Before Parliament passed the Chimney Sweepers and Chimneys Regulation Act in 1840, it was perfectly legal for sweeps to employ young children.
