What Does a Chimney Smoke Chamber Do?

The smoke chamber of the chimney system doesn’t get a lot of attention (out of sight, out of mind), but it’s one of the most important components in terms of fireplace performance and safety.

This funnel-shaped area of the chimney system connects the fireplace to the chimney flue and directs smoke from the fire up into the chimney, so that it can exit the home safely. In order to effectively do this, the smoke chamber must be free of buildup, cracks, holes, and other damage that could slow the passage of smoke.

In an ideal world, the smoke chamber would be impervious to this type of damage, but because it’s right above the fire itself, high temperatures and acidic fumes can lead to smoke chamber damage. Additionally, if you haven’t kept up with regular chimney sweepings, creosote could have built up on the surface of the smoke chamber and caused corrosion and decay.

And if all that weren’t enough, performance issues can be caused by a sizing issue. The smoke chamber must be properly sized in relation to the fireplace in order to effectively remove smoke.

More About Smoke Chamber Resizing & Restoration

Smoke Chamber Damage? Call On Us

The best way to determine whether or not your smoke chamber is the cause of your fireplace performance and safety issues is to schedule an annual inspection. During an inspection, our technicians will take a look at your smoke chamber and check for size problems, holes, cracks, creosote buildup, and other concerns.

If your smoke chamber is improperly sized, we can resize it so it can effectively usher smoke up into the chimney flue.
If your smoke chamber simply needs to be cleaned, we can remove even the toughest creosote.
If cracks, holes, and other damage are a concern, we can make the needed repairs and parge the smoke chamber smooth, so you’re left with a smoke chamber surface that’s insulated and resistant to damage – and that won’t hinder the passage of smoke.

Don’t Let Your Chimney Issues Worsen

Don’t wait! If you live in the greater Shenandoah Valley area and you’re experiencing performance and smoke problems with your fireplace, schedule with our team today. Our technicians provide expert smoke chamber resizing and restoration work for increased performance and safety – and we can help with any other chimney services you might need too.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris and Joseph did an excellent job cleaning our chimney and taking care of our wood stove. They gave us tips on how to help us getting even longer use of our wood stove. They had a complete report including photos of what was happening on our stove and chimneys. Blue Ridge Chimneys put in our wood stove a few years ago. We have been happy with their work each year when they have come to work at our home.
