As a family-run chimney company serving along the Hudson River and the surrounding areas, the most important thing to us is client safety. We know there are risks involved with chimneys and fireplaces, but we don’t want our clients to have to worry about them. We want you to be able to enjoy a fire in your fireplace and all the comfort it brings, without thinking about what could go wrong.
That’s why we provide such meticulous inspections and repairs. After all, what’s more important than the safety and comfort of the families in our communities? If you ask us, the answer is nothing.
But what’s one thing that can seriously compromise your safety? A damaged smoke chamber.
Smoke chambers are essentially upside down staircases guiding the smoke of the fire from the fireplace up into the chimney flue. If the smoke chamber is damaged or poorly designed and that smoke doesn’t swiftly enter the chimney flue and exit the home, problems can arise.
For example, more creosote can build up inside the chimney system. And since creosote is highly combustible and corrosive, that’s certainly not something we want.
Heat, hot ash, and stray sparks can also fit through those cracks and openings in the smoke chamber, causing a house fire, damage to nearby walls and framing, and even exposure to toxic gases produced by the fire.
Our goal is to keep these things from happening, which is why we stress to our clients the importance of having a smoke chamber repaired or parged smooth at the earliest sign of damage.
Have you noticed smoke coming back into your home when you have a fire going? Is creosote building up in your chimney system at rapid rates? These could be signs that it’s time to have your smoke chamber repaired or relined, and we can help.
Here at True Ventilation, we repair and reline smoke chambers using a highly insulative ceramic product that works wonders. Not only does it seal gaps, cracks, and openings and provide a smooth surface for smoke, but it also insulates smoke chambers for increased safety. It’s a win every way you look at it!
And because of its high temperature rating and resistance to acid, vapor, and water damage, you can rest assured that the repairs made with this product will last and last.
