When the damper sits at the top of the flue
A damper at the top of the flue, closed by a cable that runs down to the firebox, changes the order of work. The cable is released and the damper opened, and its gasket and spring are checked before the brush goes down. Deposit on the gasket keeps it from sealing, so it gets wiped clean.
The throat below may have no damper at all, only an open frame, which makes the smoke shelf easy to reach. When the work is done in Yulee, the damper is closed and opened again from the firebox to confirm the cable pulls it tight. Ready for a clean flue in Yulee? Call (904) 920-5495 to book the sweep.

How It Works
From drop cloth to written record in Yulee
-
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
Musty smells from the fireplace in Yulee
A fireplace that smells of old smoke on damp days usually has deposit in the flue or on the smoke shelf. Moisture in the air brings the smell out.
A sweep in Yulee removes that deposit, and if the smell is musty or animal, the record says what else it points to.

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.
Soft bristles for a stainless liner
A stainless steel liner resists corrosion because of the alloy at its surface. Scraping that surface with steel bristles can scratch it and leave it more open to the acids in flue gases, so liner makers specify plastic bristle brushes matched to the liner's diameter.
The rods used are flexible enough to follow the liner through any bends it takes around offsets. Deposit falls to the base, where a tee cap or clean-out is opened and emptied. The liner cap on top comes off first, so the brush can enter without snagging its screen. A liner already scored by an earlier steel brush is noted, since those marks are where corrosion tends to start.
Carrying the soot out of the house
Everything that comes out of the chimney goes into heavy bags held inside the fireplace opening, tied before they move, and carried out along the covered path. Nothing is tipped into a household bin indoors.
Ash can stay hot far longer than it looks, so any ash from recent fires goes into a metal container rather than a plastic bag. The firebox is vacuumed after the bags are out, so the final pass catches anything shaken loose during the carry, and the walkway cloths come up last, folded inward. Bags go to your outdoor bin only if you ask; otherwise they leave with us.

FAQ
Sweep questions from Yulee
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.
