What comes into the house
Inside, the kit is small: cloths and a pad for the hearth, a vacuum built for fine dust, a set of rods, brush heads matched to your flue, hand scrapers for the smoke chamber, and a work light. Ladders and roof gear stay outside.
Nothing is set on furniture, and the path from the door is covered where the rods and bags travel. When the visit ends the same kit leaves the same way, and what stays behind in your Fernandina Beach home is the written record on the counter. Anything that has touched the flue is bagged before it crosses the floor. Let us know at (904) 920-5495 when the Fernandina Beach fireplace was last used.

How It Works
From drop cloth to written record in Fernandina Beach
-
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
Rain down the flue and sooty smells in Fernandina Beach
When rain gets into a flue, it wets the soot and deposit on the walls, and the smell of old smoke drifts into the room on damp days.
In Fernandina Beach a sweep removes the deposit, and if the cap or crown is letting water in, the record names which one.

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.
The point where a brush stops working
Glazed creosote is a hard, shiny coat fused to the flue wall, formed after cool, smoky fires have run for a long time. A brush slides over it. Pushing harder does not help and can chip tile.
At that point the sweep stops and names what it found: where the glaze starts and how far up it runs. Removing it calls for rotary tools or chemical treatment over one or more visits, planned as its own job. Until then the fireplace is best left cold, since glaze is dense fuel sitting right in the flue. The record also says whether the glaze sits low near the smoke chamber or high in the flue, since that shapes how it is removed.
Protecting stone and tile hearths
Soot stains porous stone and grout quickly, and a dropped rod can chip a tile edge. Before the work starts, the hearth is covered with a heavy cloth over a pad, taped where it meets the firebox so nothing slides under.
Rods, brushes and bags rest on the cloth and stay off the floor. At the end the cloth is folded inward so the soot stays inside it, and the hearth is wiped down. If a stain or a chip was already there before the visit, it is pointed out at the start rather than discovered afterward. Raised hearths get a second cloth down the front edge, where rods tend to rest.

FAQ
Sweep questions from Fernandina Beach
Will the sweep get rid of the smell?
It removes the deposit that causes a sooty smell. A musty or animal smell has other causes, and the record says which one it looks like.
Do I need to be home for the sweep?
An adult needs to open the house and hear the findings at the end. In between, the work does not need you.
