Hi this is Tom with Ask the Chimney Sweep. Today we’re going to talk about smoke chamber repair. The smoke chamber is an area of your fireplace that is designed to safely transition and vent smoke and flue gases from exiting your home. Roughly 60% of chimney fires actually originate in the smoke chamber. Most smoke chambers are improperly designed and are left with corbels which caused the smoke to hang out inside of the smoke chamber for longer than necessary. We have developed several products to bring your smoke chamber up to code by smoothing any corbeling or jagged edges. This is an example of a smoke chamber that is not up to code when it’s stair steps or corbeled like this it needs to be parged smooth. With our products a factory trained installer can go in smooth out all the corbeling bringing your chimney and smoke chamber up to code. To find a professional chimney installer in your area please visit the National Chimney Sweep Guild.
