What we ask before a sweep in Fleming Island

Very little. Let the last fire burn out a full day ahead so the ash is cold. Clear the mantel of anything you would hate to see knocked, and leave a clear path from the door to the hearth. Tell us if pets will be home, and put them in another room while the vacuum runs.

If there is an attic hatch, point it out. A quick look at the chimney where it passes through the attic takes a few minutes and can find what the roof and the firebox cannot show. Fireplace not drawing in Fleming Island? Call (904) 920-5495 and book a sweep.

What's Included

Flue, shelf, damper and cap, swept

  • Stove connector taken down, cleaned and refitted

How It Works

From drop cloth to written record in Fleming Island

  1. Room covered, opening sealed

    Drop cloths go down, the fireplace opening is closed off and a filtered vacuum runs at it.

  2. 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.

  3. Damper and chamber walls scraped

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

  4. 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

Storm debris in inland flues in Fleming Island

Each year the hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and inland wind still pushes leaves and twigs into flues without a cap. They collect on the smoke shelf.

A sweep before you light the first fire of the cool season clears them out.

Taking down a stove connector pipe

The connector between a wood stove and the chimney collects deposit fast, because it is the first place the exhaust cools. It comes down in sections, each marked so it goes back in order, and is brushed over a drop cloth or outdoors.

Going back up, each joint is fastened, the crimped ends point toward the stove so condensate runs back into it, and the run keeps its rise toward the chimney. Loose or rusted sections, and any seam that has opened, are listed as replacements. A connector that sags or leaks smoke into the room is not put back.

A flue that nothing uses anymore

When an appliance is removed, its flue can stay behind, open at the top and forgotten. Nests, leaves and fallen tile collect in it with nobody watching, and water entering at the top works on the masonry around it.

A sweep brushes it and clears its base like any working flue. The record then offers two paths: fit a screened cap so the flue stays usable, or close the top with a cover that keeps rain out while still letting the masonry dry. Either beats an open, idle hole in the roof. If the idle flue shares a cap with a working one, both are handled on the same visit.

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.

  1. Damper plate and frame scraped so the plate seats flat again
  2. Cap screen cleared of soot and the cap reset square on the flue
  3. Cloths, a sealed opening and a fine-dust vacuum for the whole visit
  4. Factory-built chimney brushed with the tool its manual names

FAQ

Sweep questions from Fleming Island

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.

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.
