Parging of Smoke Chamber

🔥 Improve Chimney Efficiency & Safety with Smoke Chamber Parging

The smoke chamber plays a crucial role in directing smoke and gases from your fireplace into the flue. If it has rough, cracked, or deteriorating surfaces, it can reduce efficiency and create fire hazards. At Lalonde Chimney & Home Services, we specialize in smoke chamber parging, a process that smooths and seals the interior of the smoke chamber to enhance performance and safety.

🏠 Why is Smoke Chamber Parging Important?

Over time, the bricks and mortar inside the smoke chamber can erode or develop cracks, leading to:

✔️ Poor Drafting – A rough or uneven surface disrupts airflow, making it harder for smoke to exit the chimney.
✔️ Increased Creosote Buildup – Creosote, a highly flammable substance, can accumulate in rough areas, increasing the risk of chimney fires.
✔️ Heat Transfer to Combustible Materials – Gaps and cracks can allow excessive heat to escape, creating a fire hazard.

By parging the smoke chamber, we create a smooth, insulated surface that improves airflow, reduces creosote buildup, and enhances overall chimney safety.
