Smoke Chamber Repair & Parging in Charlotte, NC
The Hidden Danger Above Your Fireplace — Code-Compliant Protection
The Smoke Chamber Is THE Hidden Danger
The smoke chamber is located directly above your fireplace damper and funnels smoke into the flue. Unparged or cracked smoke chambers cause chimney fires, excessive creosote, smoke leakage, and carbon monoxide entry.
NFPA requires smoke chambers to be parged smooth. Our professional parging service brings your chimney into code compliance while dramatically improving safety and draft performance.
Unparged smoke chambers cause: Chimney fires • Creosote buildup • Smoke leakage • CO poisoning • Poor draft
