What a sweep leaves behind

The visit ends with three things. The flue path is clean from the firebox to the cap. The debris is bagged and out of the house. And you have a short written record: what was cleaned, what kind of deposit came out and where it was heaviest, and anything that needs repair, listed item by item.

That record is useful beyond this visit. Next year's sweep in Panama Park starts from it, and so does anyone pricing a repair, because the defects are already named in plain words. Keep it with the house papers, since a buyer's inspector may ask for it. Our sweep pros are a call away at (904) 920-5495, with a free inspection whenever you want one.

Within Jacksonville city limits, Panama Park is its own named neighborhood. Panama Park is part of Duval County.

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 Panama 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 Panama Park, flexible rods carry the brush around the offset, and the record notes how well it cleared.

Taking down a stove connector pipe

The connector between a wood stove and the chimney collects deposit fast, because it is the first place the exhaust cools. It comes down in sections, each marked so it goes back in order, and is brushed over a drop cloth or outdoors.

Going back up, each joint is fastened, the crimped ends point toward the stove so condensate runs back into it, and the run keeps its rise toward the chimney. Loose or rusted sections, and any seam that has opened, are listed as replacements. A connector that sags or leaks smoke into the room is not put back.

Protecting stone and tile hearths

Soot stains porous stone and grout quickly, and a dropped rod can chip a tile edge. Before the work starts, the hearth is covered with a heavy cloth over a pad, taped where it meets the firebox so nothing slides under.

Rods, brushes and bags rest on the cloth and stay off the floor. At the end the cloth is folded inward so the soot stays inside it, and the hearth is wiped down. If a stain or a chip was already there before the visit, it is pointed out at the start rather than discovered afterward. Raised hearths get a second cloth down the front edge, where rods tend to rest.

What the top of the chimney shows while the brush is up

Working from the roof puts the crown, cap and flashing within reach, and a sweep takes advantage of it. Cracks across the crown, a gap where the tile meets the crown, loose cap fasteners and flashing pulled away from the brick all get noted.

None of them is repaired during the sweep, and none is sold on the spot. They go on the written record with a plain description, so you can decide later whether to fix them and have them priced on a free written estimate. If the roof cannot be walked safely, the record says which of those parts were seen from a ladder and which were not seen at all.

Before the brushes go in

Will the sweep get rid of the smell?

It removes the deposit that causes a sooty smell. A musty or animal smell has other causes, and the record says which one it looks like.

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.
