A chimney nobody remembers sweeping
Houses change hands, and chimney records tend to stay behind with the old owner. When nobody knows the last sweep date, the flue is treated as unknown: checked for nests and debris before brushing, its deposit looked at closely, and the smoke chamber checked for signs that something has been living there.
An unknown chimney can turn out clean, packed with leaves, or glazed from years of smoky fires. Each outcome reads differently on the note, and that note becomes the first page of the chimney's record for whoever owns the house in Avondale next. It also tells the next sweep what to expect. A sweep and a free inspection can go on one visit in Avondale; ask at (904) 920-5495.
Avondale lies within Duval County. Avondale is inland, more than about six miles from the coast.
What's Included
Sweeping work we handle in Avondale
- Fireplace opening sealed around the vacuum hose
- Cap screen brushed free of soot

How It Works
From drop cloth to written record in Avondale
-
Room covered, opening sealed
Drop cloths go down, the fireplace opening is closed off and a filtered vacuum runs at it.
-
Flue brushed with a matched head
Rods carry a brush shaped and sized to your tile or liner up the full height, around any offset.
-
Damper and chamber walls scraped
The sloped walls, the smoke shelf and the damper plate are cleared by hand, with the shelf last.
-
Clean-up and a written note
Debris is bagged and carried out, and you get a note on the deposit and anything the brushes uncovered.
Local Conditions
Glazed deposit in Avondale flues
Glazed creosote is a hard, shiny coat fused to the flue wall after long runs of cool, smoky fires. A brush slides over it.
When a sweep in Avondale finds glaze, the record says where it is, and its removal is priced as a separate job.

Soft bristles for a stainless liner
A stainless steel liner resists corrosion because of the alloy at its surface. Scraping that surface with steel bristles can scratch it and leave it more open to the acids in flue gases, so liner makers specify plastic bristle brushes matched to the liner's diameter.
The rods used are flexible enough to follow the liner through any bends it takes around offsets. Deposit falls to the base, where a tee cap or clean-out is opened and emptied. The liner cap on top comes off first, so the brush can enter without snagging its screen. A liner already scored by an earlier steel brush is noted, since those marks are where corrosion tends to start.
Sweeping a metal chimney the maker's way
The chimney on a factory-built fireplace is a stack of listed metal sections, and its maker's manual sets how it may be cleaned, including the brush and the tools to avoid so the inner wall is not dented or a joint pulled apart. The sweep follows that page.
As the brush passes, each section is checked for dents, rust streaks and joints that have separated, and the firestop spacers at each ceiling are looked at where they can be seen. Anything out of order is noted by the maker's part name, since those chimneys are repaired only with listed parts. The cap on top, called a termination in the manuals, is part of the listed system and gets checked the same way.
What the top of the chimney shows while the brush is up
Working from the roof puts the crown, cap and flashing within reach, and a sweep takes advantage of it. Cracks across the crown, a gap where the tile meets the crown, loose cap fasteners and flashing pulled away from the brick all get noted.
None of them is repaired during the sweep, and none is sold on the spot. They go on the written record with a plain description, so you can decide later whether to fix them and have them priced on a free written estimate. If the roof cannot be walked safely, the record says which of those parts were seen from a ladder and which were not seen at all.
