The smoke chamber is the area of the chimney above the firebox. Designed to guide smoke out of your home, the smoke chamber angles from wide to a narrower opening of your chimney. The smoke chamber is essential to funnel smoke from the firebox up and out into the chimney. Defaults or damage to your smoke chamber can impede the flow of smoke, causing a bad draft (flow of smoke and air). When a chimney isn’t drafting correctly, smoke flows back into your home rather than up your chimney.
Over time, the lining of the smoke chamber wears down and can face water damage. Masters Services offers Chimney Relining Service to preserve the integrity of your smoke chamber. Keep cozy with a fire – and keep your chimney liner up to par so the toxins from smoke go outside instead of into your home!
Masters Services Certified Chimney Experts strongly recommend that every smoke chamber of a chimney be professionally inspected. Every chimney eventually leaks and wears, so stop it before it becomes a problem!
