What is Smoke Chamber Parging?
Smoke chamber parging is when a smooth, cement-based coating is applied to the inside of the fireplace’s smoke chamber. The smoke chamber is the area above the fireplace where the smoke gathers before going up the chimney flue.
Parging helps create a better draft, which means the smoke goes up the chimney more easily. This reduces the risk of smoke coming back into the home. It also seals any cracks or imperfections, making the whole fireplace system safer and work better.

Important Chimney Cleaning Before Smoke Chamber Parging
Cleaning your chimney is very important before you apply the protective coating to the inside of the chimney. This coating is called “smoke chamber parging.” Cleaning the chimney removes a buildup of creosote, which is a very flammable substance that comes from burning wood. If this creosote is left in the chimney, it can cause a fire.
Cleaning the chimney also allows you to inspect it closely. This helps find any problems with the structure or anything blocking the chimney. Fixing these issues before applying the protective coating ensures the coating will work properly and last a long time. This helps keep the chimney working well and makes your home heating safe.
