Eliminate Smoke Problems with Professional Smoke Chamber Repair

Does your fireplace send smoke billowing back into your home, even when the damper is open and the flue is primed? The culprit could be your smoke chamber—the inverted funnel-shaped area above your fireplace that directs smoke, gases, and byproducts into the flue. Over time, smoke chambers can develop cracks, gaps, and rough surfaces that obstruct airflow, leading to serious issues such as:

 

  • Increased creosote buildup, which raises the risk of chimney fires
  • Smoke and gases leaking into your home, creating air quality and safety hazards
  • Reduced chimney draft, making fires burn inefficiently and causing smoke to back up into your living space

How We Restore and Repair Smoke Chambers

Many older chimneys were built with corbeled (stepped) smoke chambers, which further restrict airflow. Today’s building codes require smoke chambers to be parged smooth with high-temperature, insulating mortar to improve efficiency and safety. At Turn of the Century Chimney, we use industry-leading solutions to restore damaged and inefficient smoke chambers, ensuring proper draft and preventing smoke issues.

Our Smoke Chamber Repair Solutions:

  • Cerfractory Foam Smoke Chamber Sealant – A spray-on, high-temperature sealant that expands to fill cracks and gaps, creating a smooth, insulated surface. This environmentally friendly product withstands temperatures up to 2,900°F and carries a 20-year limited warranty.

 

  • Chamber Coat – A durable refractory mortar applied with a trowel to create a seamless, heat-resistant surface that improves airflow and efficiency. It withstands temperatures up to 2,550°F and is ideal for reshaping and resizing smoke chambers.
