Smoke Chamber Repair
Professional Chimney Services for Westchester, New York
The smoke chamber in your chimney is located just above the damper. You can tell what the smoke chamber is by looking for a piece shaped like an inverted funnel. The chamber's purpose is to direct the smoke up and out through the top of the chimney. In most homes, the smoke chamber is a hidden fire hazard as the walls of the smoke chamber are hard to see, which makes cleaning them even harder. For many with older homes, the bricks that were used to build the smoke chamber may have had holes which can compromise the structure of the chimney.
You must remove the damper and the nearby bricks to access the smoke chamber and use a hand trowel to fill in the holes and cracks your chimney may have. However, there are newer products that have been released that make filling in the holes much easier. There is a recommended product called Smoketite. This is a spray which makes fixing the holes and cracks much easier. You no longer have to remove the damper and nearby bricks to fix the brickwork.
Defective Smoke Chambers Need to be Repaired
According to the National Fire Protection Association, defective smoke chambers are the third leading cause of chimney-related house fires. For the safety and efficiency of your fireplace, it is important that any gaps, cracks or holes in the smoke chamber are sealed and the brick corbelling is smooth. The smoke chamber is a “high heat” area. Which means that any gaps, cracks or holes can allow excessive heat to attack any surrounding wood or combustibles. And thus start a fire with devastating effects.
Like most things around the home, you can do it. However, we recommend leaving most aspects regarding your chimney to the professionals. That is always the safest option. The sealant that we will suggest to you will keep your chimney safe up to 3000 degrees Fahrenheit. It is impregnable to water, acids and vapors and will keep your home safe. Even if you choose to not use this sealant, our experts at Guaranteed Chimney of Westchester can repair the gaps in your chimney without it.
