What to tell us when booking a sweep

When you call about a sweep, a few answers shape the visit. Is it an open fireplace, a wood stove or an insert? When was the last fire, and roughly how many fires since the last cleaning? Does the chimney have more than one flue, and can the roof be walked?

Those details decide which rods, heads and ladders come off the truck, and how long to hold on the schedule. Give us the make and model of any stove or insert, because its manual decides whether it comes out. With that, your Switzerland sweep starts on time and ends without a second trip.

How It Works

How your Switzerland sweep goes

Room covered, opening sealed
Drop cloths go down, the fireplace opening is closed off and a filtered vacuum runs at it.
Flue brushed with a matched head
Rods carry a brush shaped and sized to your tile or liner up the full height, around any offset.
Damper and chamber walls scraped
The sloped walls, the smoke shelf and the damper plate are cleared by hand, with the shelf last.
Clean-up and a written note
Debris is bagged and carried out, and you get a note on the deposit and anything the brushes uncovered.

Local Conditions

Nests in Switzerland chimneys

An open flue is a nesting spot for birds and small animals. Chimney swifts nest in masonry flues and are protected while they do.

Before any brush goes into a flue in Switzerland, we check for signs of life, and an active nest waits for its season to end.

Why a round brush fails in a square tile

Clay flue tile comes in square and rectangular shapes, and the corners are where deposit sits deepest, because smoke moves slowest there. A round brush in a square tile cleans a circle and leaves four stripes of creosote running the height of the flue.

The answer is a head cut to the tile's shape and size, with bristles long enough to reach into each corner under light pressure. For rectangular tile the head is matched to both dimensions, so it bears on the long walls as well as the short ones. Heads wear down, and a worn head stops reaching the corners, so each one is checked against the tile before the first pass.

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.

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.
