Smoke Chamber Repair

Rebuilding Safety from the Inside Out

The smoke chamber is one of the most critical—and most overlooked—parts of your fireplace system. If it’s cracked, corbelled, or deteriorating, it can restrict airflow, trap dangerous creosote, and increase the risk of chimney fires. At Miami & Grove Fireplace & Stoves, we specialize in smoke chamber repair to restore proper function, improve draft, and protect your home.

What Is the Smoke Chamber?

Located between the firebox and the flue, the smoke chamber compresses and funnels smoke upward. Over time, it can suffer from:

🧱 Cracked or crumbling masonry

❌ Rough corbelled brickwork that traps creosote

🔥 Gaps or voids that leak heat into surrounding walls

🧊 Moisture damage or air leaks

These issues compromise safety, efficiency, and performance.
