Smoke stains above the opening
Dark streaks on the brick or plaster above the opening mean smoke has been escaping at the lip rather than rising into the throat. Sometimes a dirty flue is the cause, because deposit narrows the passage and slows the draw.
Sometimes it is not. An opening too tall for its flue, a house pulling air down the chimney, or fires built too far forward all leave the same mark. The sweep removes the deposit, and the note says whether the flue size and the opening look matched, so you know whether cleaning alone should cure it at your Orange Park address. Our sweep pros are a call away at (904) 920-5495, with a free inspection whenever you want one.

How your Orange Park 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.
Flues with bends in Orange Park
Some flues slope sideways partway up to get around a beam or another fireplace. Stiff rods cannot turn that corner.
For bent flues in Orange Park, flexible rods carry the brush around the offset, and the record notes how well it cleared.

Brushing the flue, clearing the smoke shelf and cleaning up, the whole sweep is discounted.
Corbeled smoke chambers and the ledges they hide
Some smoke chambers are built by stepping each brick course inward until the opening narrows to the size of the flue. Every step is a small upward-facing ledge, and each one holds soot and flakes that a brush from above slides straight past.
Those chambers are scraped course by course with a hand tool through the open damper, working from the top step down. The steps also trap heat and deposit unevenly, so the note records whether the chamber is stepped or parged smooth, because a stepped chamber explains why some fireplaces hold on to a smell after a sweep.
Sweeping a metal chimney the maker's way
The chimney on a factory-built fireplace is a stack of listed metal sections, and its maker's manual sets how it may be cleaned, including the brush and the tools to avoid so the inner wall is not dented or a joint pulled apart. The sweep follows that page.
As the brush passes, each section is checked for dents, rust streaks and joints that have separated, and the firestop spacers at each ceiling are looked at where they can be seen. Anything out of order is noted by the maker's part name, since those chimneys are repaired only with listed parts. The cap on top, called a termination in the manuals, is part of the listed system and gets checked the same way.
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.
Checked during a sweep in Orange Park
- Hand scraping of the smoke chamber walls and any stepped courses
- Stove connector taken down, brushed and refastened with the correct pitch
- Cap screen cleared of soot and the cap reset square on the flue
- Second and third flues in the stack brushed and labeled by use
Before the brushes go in
Will you tell me if the sweep finds damage?
Yes. It goes into the written record, and nothing is touched beyond the cleaning. If you want it fixed, you get a free written estimate for that repair.
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.
