FAQs

Answer

The smoke chamber is simply the name for the area just above the firebox that sends smoke up into the flue so it can exit the chimney. This area, shaped like an upside-down funnel, should allow smoke and byproducts to quickly move up into the flue. Extreme heat, toxic gases, and corrosive byproducts are produced by fire, which is why we have chimneys and all the protective parts of the chimney system, including the smoke chamber. Unfortunately, when smoke chambers undergo damage and develop cracks and holes, they lose their ability to keep heat, gas, and corrosive byproducts contained and away from nearby framing or other combustibles. Cracked and “hole-y” smoke chambers also slow down the movement of smoke and byproducts, which can lead to more smoke and carbon monoxide coming back into your home and more smoke settling along the flue walls and smoke chamber in the form of flammable creosote. But we can help.

Our team is certified and we know how to parge smoke chambers smooth for an effective restoration. We use quality products that are designed to stand up to extreme temperatures and to provide a smooth, airtight surface, fire after fire.
