Damper inspection and repair is an important part of maintaining a safe and efficient HVAC system. Inspecting the damper for any visible signs of damage or corrosion is the first step in troubleshooting and repairing the damper.

If there is any damage, it should be repaired or replaced before attempting to troubleshoot and repair the damper. It is also important to check the damper for proper operation, debris or blockages, loose or missing parts, rust or corrosion, air leaks, and cracks or gaps. If any of these issues are present, they should be addressed before attempting to repair the damper.

8 things you should check while inspecting your damper:

1. Inspect the damper for any visible signs of damage or corrosion. If there is any damage, it should be repaired or replaced before attempting to troubleshoot and repair the damper.

2. Check the damper for proper operation. Open and close the damper several times to make sure it is working properly. If the damper is not opening and closing properly, it may need to be adjusted or lubricated.

3. Inspect the damper for any debris or blockages that may be preventing it from operating correctly. Remove any debris or blockages that may be present.

4. Check the damper for any loose or missing parts. If any parts are missing or loose, they should be replaced or tightened.

5. Inspect the damper for any rust or corrosion that may be present. If there is rust or corrosion, it should be removed and the damper should be treated with a rust inhibitor.

6. Check the damper for any air leaks. If there are any air leaks, they should be sealed with a high-temperature sealant.
