Brushes for clay tile and stainless flues

A brush needs to reach the surfaces of the flue without damaging them. Clay flues and stainless systems differ in shape and construction, so the head's size, shape and bristle material are chosen for the installed system and its manufacturer's cleaning instructions.

A poorly fitted brush can miss corners or damage the lining. We record the flue type and the tools suitable for it, so the next sweep in O'Neil starts with the right information. Fireplace not drawing in O'Neil? Call (904) 920-5495 and book a sweep.

How your O'Neil sweep goes

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.

Sweeping chimneys near the coast

O'Neil lies near the coast, and salt still reaches the cap and damper. Rust on either one shows up as flakes on the smoke shelf.

Sweeps in O'Neil include cleaning and checking both, and a damper that no longer seats is written up.

Choosing a brush for the installed liner

Stainless chimney systems do not all have identical cleaning instructions. The brush material and diameter must suit the installed product and remove deposits without scratching or damaging its lining. The manufacturer's manual is the starting point.

Access, rods and debris removal follow that system's layout and instructions. The sweep records visible damage for further assessment instead of treating one brush material as suitable for every stainless liner.

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.

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.

Before the brushes go in

Do you sweep chimneys in O'Neil?

We do. Tell us the fireplace type and when it was last used, and we give you a time window for the sweep in O'Neil.

Can you sweep if the roof is steep?

Yes, from the firebox with rods pushed up the flue. The top is then looked at from the safest point available, and the record says what could not be seen up close.
