Poor draft from a narrowed flue
Thick creosote narrows a flue. The fireplace that once drew well starts to smoke on lighting or when the doors are opened. Deposits have taken up part of the space the smoke needs. It is the same passage your fire relies on to clear the room of smoke.
Clearing them restores the flue's full size, and draft usually comes back. If it does not, we look for other causes: the damper, the house pressure or the flue's height. Fireplace drawing worse each season in Kings Ferry? Phone (904) 920-5495 and book a free creosote inspection.

Why a brush slides over glaze
A sweep's brush works by scraping. Soft soot and flaky deposits break off under its bristles and fall down the flue. Glaze is different. It is hard, smooth and fused to the wall, and the bristles ride over it without catching.
Pushing harder does not help and can damage the brush or the liner. So once a sweep reports glaze, the work changes to tools that break it mechanically or products that change it chemically. We confirm the glaze on the inspection and choose between those two routes by what the liner can take. Brushing glaze harder also polishes it, which makes the next attempt harder still.
Treatments applied over a series of fires
Other treatments work with fires. They are sprayed onto the glaze or added to the fire according to the label, and heat from normal burning helps convert the glaze into a softer, flaky deposit that a brush can remove at the next visit.
These take time, and the label decides how the fireplace is used in between. We hand over those instructions in writing and book the follow-up sweep. The advantage is gentleness on the liner. The trade-off is patience, which is why they suit some flues and not others. We check the flue at the follow-up and brush out what has changed before deciding whether another round is needed.
Cleaning logs, sprays and their limits
Products sold to loosen creosote, from cleaning logs to sprays and powders, can soften some deposits as they burn. What they do not do is remove hard glaze by themselves or show the condition of the flue.
Softened deposits still have to be brushed out, and a flue treated only with these products for seasons can hide heavy glaze and cracked tiles. We do use labeled chemical treatments as part of removal, but always with brushing and an examination afterward. The difference is that the flue is looked at, not assumed. If you like to use them between cleanings, we explain how to keep them from hiding problems.
