How long a sweep takes
A single open fireplace with a straight flue is a short visit: setup, brushing, the shelf and firebox, the look, and cleanup. Time grows with each extra flue, a stove connector to take down, an insert to pull, a steep roof that means working from below, or a smoke chamber of stepped brick to scrape course by course.
Heavy deposit adds passes. The booking call for the Nassauville address gives a realistic window based on what you describe, and if the work turns out bigger than described, you hear that before it continues. Much of the time goes to the smoke chamber and shelf, the parts you cannot see from the room. A sweep and a free inspection can go on one visit in Nassauville; ask at (904) 920-5495.

How our sweep pros clean a chimney in Nassauville
-
Room covered, flue checked
The hearth is covered, the opening sealed around the vacuum, and the flue checked for nests or animals.
-
Flue brushed to its shape
A head cut to your tile or liner is run the full height, and the smoke chamber is scraped by hand.
-
Shelf, damper and cap cleaned
The smoke shelf is cleared, the damper made to seat, and the cap screen brushed from the roof.
-
Bagged out and written up
Soot leaves in tied bags, and you get a record of what came out and anything we saw.
Cap screens that clog near the water
Soot sticks to a cap screen on its way out, and near the coast rust can narrow the mesh further. A clogged screen makes a fire slow to start and smoky.
The screen on your Nassauville chimney is brushed from the roof as part of the sweep.

Brushing the flue, clearing the smoke shelf and cleaning up, the whole sweep is discounted.
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.
Checking for occupants before brushing
A brush pushed into an occupied flue helps nobody. Before any rod goes in, the flue is checked for signs of life: sounds, droppings on the smoke shelf, fresh nesting material.
Federal law, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, protects chimney swifts, and Florida rules bar excluding bats during their maternity season, so a live occupant can change what is allowed and when. If something is there, the sweep is rescheduled and the animal question handled first. The debris comes out once the flue is empty. The check takes minutes and happens on every sweep, cap or no cap, since a torn screen or a loose cap lets animals in.
Leaves and twigs on the smoke shelf
An uncapped flue collects whatever falls or blows into it. Leaves and twigs slide down to the smoke shelf and pile up there, sometimes enough to block part of the throat. Dry, they are kindling sitting above the fire. Wet, they hold water against the masonry and rot into a musty smell.
They come out by hand after the flue is brushed, since brushing sends more down on top of them. A screened cap is the lasting fix, and the record gives the flue size so the right cap is ordered. A shelf that refills this way between sweeps is a sign the cap is missing or damaged.
Checked during a sweep in Nassauville
- Smoke shelf cleared by hand and vacuum after the brushing is done
- Second and third flues in the stack brushed and labeled by use
- Cloths, a sealed opening and a fine-dust vacuum for the whole visit
- Clean-out door or tee cap emptied at the base of a lined flue
Before the brushes go in
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.
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.
