🧱 Masonry Smoke Chamber Repair

Reinforcing Safety Where It Matters Most

The smoke chamber is the unsung hero of your fireplace system—guiding smoke from the firebox into the flue. If its masonry is cracked, corbelled, or deteriorating, it can compromise airflow, efficiency, and safety. At Miami & Grove Fireplace & Stoves, we specialize in masonry smoke chamber repair to restore structural integrity and protect your home from hidden fire risks.

What Is the Smoke Chamber—and Why Repair It?

Located just above the firebox, the smoke chamber compresses and funnels smoke upward.

Over time, its masonry can:

🧱 Crack or crumble due to heat stress

❌ Trap creosote in rough or corbelled brickwork

🔥 Leak heat into surrounding walls

🧊 Allow moisture intrusion or air leaks

These issues can lead to chimney fires, poor draft, and costly damage.

Repairing the chamber ensures safe, efficient operation—and peace of mind.
