Smoke Chamber Repair

A damaged smoke chamber can cause drafting problems within your fireplace. If the smoke chamber is cracked, crumbling or has holes- that allows for the fumes to linger, ash/embers to escape to other areas of the home. If you have a double flue chimney (one flue venting the fireplace and one flue venting the oil or gas) a damaged smoke chamber can cause the fuels to mix inside the chimney revealing a dangerous situation.

What is the smoke chamber?

It is located directly above your fireplace’s damper. The smoke chamber flows the smoke from the firebox up your chimney’s flue & to the outdoors.
