Smoke Chamber Cleaning

Clearing the Way for Safer, Stronger Fires

Your chimney’s smoke chamber plays a critical role in guiding smoke and gases up and out of your home. If it’s dirty, damaged, or poorly shaped, it can restrict airflow, increase creosote buildup, and raise the risk of chimney fires. At Miami & Grove Fireplace & Stoves, we offer expert smoke chamber cleaning to keep your system safe, efficient, and ready for every burn.

What Is the Smoke Chamber?

Located just above the firebox and below the flue, the smoke chamber compresses and funnels smoke upward. It’s often overlooked—but it’s one of the most vulnerable parts of your chimney system.

Common issues include:

🧱 Rough or corbelled brickwork that traps creosote

🧼 Heavy soot and residue buildup

❌ Cracks or gaps that allow heat to escape

🔥 Poor airflow leading to smoke spillage or backdrafts

A clean, properly parged smoke chamber improves draft and reduces fire risk.
