Smoke Chamber Parging Services
Improving Chimney Efficiency & Safety
Service Overview
The smoke chamber is a crucial part of your chimney system, directing smoke from the firebox into the flue. Over time, rough or damaged smoke chamber surfaces can reduce efficiency, lead to creosote buildup, and pose a fire hazard. Smoke chamber parging is the process of smoothing and sealing these surfaces, improving safety and performance. At Ember Keepers, our expert technicians use industry-leading techniques to restore your smoke chamber’s integrity and enhance your fireplace’s efficiency.
