What to tell us when booking a sweep
When you call about a sweep, a few answers shape the visit. Is it an open fireplace, a wood stove or an insert? When was the last fire, and roughly how many fires since the last cleaning? Does the chimney have more than one flue, and can the roof be walked?
Those details decide which rods, heads and ladders come off the truck, and how long to hold on the schedule. Give us the make and model of any stove or insert, because its manual decides whether it comes out. With that, your Fruit Cove sweep starts on time and ends without a second trip.

How It Works
From drop cloth to written record in Fruit Cove
-
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
Musty smells from the fireplace in Fruit Cove
A fireplace that smells of old smoke on damp days usually has deposit in the flue or on the smoke shelf. Moisture in the air brings the smell out.
A sweep in Fruit Cove removes that deposit, and if the smell is musty or animal, the record says what else it points to.

A damper plate that will not seat
Rust and creosote build on the damper frame until the plate drags or stops short of closed. Scraping the plate and frame is part of the sweep, followed by working the handle through its full travel.
If the plate still binds, the fault is mechanical: a warped plate, a worn pivot or a rusted handle linkage. That goes on the record as a repair. A damper that cannot close lets room air escape up the flue whenever the fireplace sits idle, and one that cannot open fully chokes the fire and pushes smoke back out. The handle is marked so open and closed can be told apart at a glance.
Carrying the soot out of the house
Everything that comes out of the chimney goes into heavy bags held inside the fireplace opening, tied before they move, and carried out along the covered path. Nothing is tipped into a household bin indoors.
Ash can stay hot far longer than it looks, so any ash from recent fires goes into a metal container rather than a plastic bag. The firebox is vacuumed after the bags are out, so the final pass catches anything shaken loose during the carry, and the walkway cloths come up last, folded inward. Bags go to your outdoor bin only if you ask; otherwise they leave with us.
Tile joints seen through a clean flue
A clean flue shows its joints. Where mortar has washed out between tiles, a dark line or a gap appears, and heat and gases reach the brick behind through it. A sweep cannot measure the whole run, but it sees the joints near the top and bottom and any the brush catches on.
Those are recorded with their rough location. An open tile joint does not mean relining by default. It means the flue needs a closer look, and the record says whether that look should come before the next fire. Joints near the smoke chamber and at the top of the flue take the most heat and weather, so those are checked first.
