Smoke Chamber Repair
Parging and smoothing the smoke chamber so smoke flows up cleanly and combustibles stay protected.
The smoke chamber sits just above the firebox, funneling smoke into the flue. Rough, corbelled or gapped smoke chambers slow the draft and let heat reach nearby framing. We parge and smooth the chamber to code so smoke flows up efficiently and the surrounding structure stays protected.
