What's involved with parging a smoke chamber Chimney Safety Institute of America

The most common repair to your chimney's smoke chamber -- which serves to funnel smoke from the fireplace opening into the flue -- is parging.

Parging is a coating of mortar applied to the brick to give the smoke chamber a smooth surface. Learning to parge is not part of the requirements of earning a certification from Chimney Safety Institute of America, but it is taught at CSIA's National Chimney Sweep Training School.

During a chimney fire, the parging is often cracked and damaged.
