Why a sweep is not an inspection

A sweep cleans, and it looks at what the cleaning exposes. It does not measure clearances to framing, trace the chimney through the attic in full, or check every flue against the appliance it serves. Those belong to an inspection, the yearly check NFPA 211 sets.

The two fit well together: sweep first so the tile is clean, then inspect while the drop cloths are still down. If you book only the sweep, the note still flags anything obvious and notes what was outside its scope. Booking both for the same Brooklyn visit means one setup and one cleanup. Our sweep pros are a call away at (904) 920-5495, with a free inspection whenever you want one.

Brooklyn lies within Duval County. Brooklyn sits inland, more than about six miles from the coast.

How It Works

From drop cloth to written record in Brooklyn

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

Sweeping wood stove flues in Brooklyn

A wood stove's connector is the first place its exhaust cools, so it collects deposit fastest. It comes down in marked sections to be cleaned.

For stoves in Brooklyn we sweep the connector and the flue, empty the base clean-out and refit the pipe.

Why a round brush fails in a square tile

Clay flue tile comes in square and rectangular shapes, and the corners are where deposit sits deepest, because smoke moves slowest there. A round brush in a square tile cleans a circle and leaves four stripes of creosote running the height of the flue.

The answer is a head cut to the tile's shape and size, with bristles long enough to reach into each corner under light pressure. For rectangular tile the head is matched to both dimensions, so it bears on the long walls as well as the short ones. Heads wear down, and a worn head stops reaching the corners, so each one is checked against the tile before the first pass.

One cap over several flues

Some chimneys carry a single wide cap spanning two or three flue openings. It has to come off to brush any of them, and while it is off, each flue tile is checked at the top for cracks and missing mortar.

The cap's legs or band are examined where they meet the crown, since fasteners rust and a loose cap can lift in wind. Going back, it sits square with its screen continuous on every side. A gap under one edge is an open door for birds and leaves, and it gets closed before the ladder comes down. Caps of this kind are sized to the crown, so the record gives the crown's outside measurements too.

Emptying the base of a lined flue

A flue that serves a stove or furnace may end below the connection in a clean-out door or a tee with a removable cap. Everything brushed down collects there. It is opened, emptied into a bag, and its seal checked before it closes again, since a clean-out that leaks lets room air into the flue and throws off the draft.

A base packed with old debris shows the flue has gone a while without a sweep, and the record notes how full it was. A door rusted shut is freed rather than forced, and a warped one goes on the repair list.

FAQ

Sweep questions from Brooklyn

How long is the fireplace out of use after a sweep?

Only until we pack up. A small first fire that evening is fine unless the record says otherwise, for example when glaze or a cracked tile was found.

Can you sweep if the roof is steep?

Yes, from the firebox with rods pushed up the flue. The top is then looked at from the safest point available, and the record says what could not be seen up close.
