Brushes for clay tile and stainless flues

A square or rectangular clay flue gets a brush head of the same shape, cut so its bristles press into all four corners. A stainless liner is round and smooth, and its maker's instructions call for soft plastic bristles matched to its diameter, because steel can scratch the alloy.

Mixing them up does damage either way. A round brush leaves the corners of a tile flue dirty, and a steel brush wears the surface a liner depends on. The note records which kind of flue you have, so the next sweep in Jacksonville Beach brings the right head. Fireplace not drawing in Jacksonville Beach? Call (904) 920-5495 and book a sweep.

How It Works

How our sweep pros clean a chimney in Jacksonville 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

Damper and cap rust near the ocean in Jacksonville Beach

With the shoreline inside Jacksonville Beach, salt air settles on the metal at both ends of a flue. Cap screens and damper plates rust sooner here, and rust flakes mix with the soot on the smoke shelf.

During a sweep in Jacksonville Beach we clean both parts, work the damper through its full travel and note any rust that has eaten into the plate or the mesh.

Soft bristles for a stainless liner

A stainless steel liner resists corrosion because of the alloy at its surface. Scraping that surface with steel bristles can scratch it and leave it more open to the acids in flue gases, so liner makers specify plastic bristle brushes matched to the liner's diameter.

The rods used are flexible enough to follow the liner through any bends it takes around offsets. Deposit falls to the base, where a tee cap or clean-out is opened and emptied. The liner cap on top comes off first, so the brush can enter without snagging its screen. A liner already scored by an earlier steel brush is noted, since those marks are where corrosion tends to start.

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.

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.
