Why Smoke Chamber Cleaning is a Must for Your Fireplace

Technician Edwin recently completed a smoke chamber cleaning for a homeowner on Howard Chapel Drive in Damascus, MD. At Chelsea’s Chimney, we often find that the smoke chamber—the area above the firebox and below the flue—is one of the most neglected parts of a chimney system.

Smoke chambers that are dirty or corbelled incorrectly can create dangerous conditions, including smoke backdrafts and even fire hazards. This service smooths and clears the chamber, improving draft efficiency and safety.

If you’re lighting fires this fall, don’t overlook this critical area of your chimney system.
