Sweeping an outside-wall chimney
A chimney built on an outside wall loses heat on three sides, so the smoke inside it cools faster than in a chimney that rises through the middle of the house. The deposit shows it: heavier toward the top, sometimes damp and sticky where condensation meets soot.
On the Bryceville chimney, the sweep spends extra passes on the upper flue, and the top few tiles get a close look for the flaking that condensation and acid cause. If the flue is also oversized for the fireplace, the note says so, since the two together speed up buildup. Fireplace not drawing in Bryceville? Call (904) 920-5495 and book a sweep.

-
Damper and chamber walls scraped
The sloped walls, the smoke shelf and the damper plate are cleared by hand, with the shelf last.
-

Debris is bagged and carried out, and you get a note on the deposit and anything the brushes uncovered.
Local Conditions
Wet wood and deposit in Bryceville fireplaces
Wood that is not dry burns cool and smoky, and cool smoke leaves creosote on the flue walls. EPA Burn Wise advises wood split and seasoned for six months or more.
If a sweep in Bryceville finds heavy, flaky deposit, we say so, and drier wood is usually the fix.

Corbeled smoke chambers and the ledges they hide
Some smoke chambers are built by stepping each brick course inward until the opening narrows to the size of the flue. Every step is a small upward-facing ledge, and each one holds soot and flakes that a brush from above slides straight past.
Those chambers are scraped course by course with a hand tool through the open damper, working from the top step down. The steps also trap heat and deposit unevenly, so the note records whether the chamber is stepped or parged smooth, because a stepped chamber explains why some fireplaces hold on to a smell after a sweep.
A cap screen clogged with soot
The mesh on a chimney cap is fine enough to stop sparks and animals, and fine enough to catch soot and flakes on their way out. A screen crusted black narrows the exit and slows the draft, and it can make a clean flue behave like a dirty one.
The cap is lifted, the mesh brushed from both sides, and the fasteners checked before it goes back square on the flue. A screen that has rusted through or torn is written up for replacement, since a hole defeats both jobs the mesh was put there to do. Screens clog faster on flues that see smoky, low fires.
Where the vacuum goes, and why
The vacuum sits at the fireplace opening instead of out in the room, and the opening is closed around its hose. That turns the firebox into the low-pressure side of the house: air flows from the room into the fireplace and through the filter, carrying loose soot with it.
The machine is sealed and filtered for fine dust, since soot is fine enough to pass a coarse filter and settle on everything nearby. It runs from the first brush stroke until the last of the shelf debris is out, and only then is the opening uncovered. The machine is loud, so it helps to warn anyone asleep in the house before the brushing starts.
