Chimney cleaning that includes the smoke chamber

Plenty of sweeps brush the straight part of the flue and stop there. The smoke chamber, the sloped space above the damper, is where smoke slows down and deposit sits thickest, and it's also where a lot of fireplace odor comes from.

Our pros scrape it by hand through the open damper after the brushing, then vacuum the smoke shelf below it. You'll hear whether the chamber walls are smooth or stepped, since that changes how fast it loads up and when it's worth checking again. Ask for a full chimney cleaning at your home in Arredondo by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Sweeping before you sell in Arredondo

Listing a home in Arredondo that has a fireplace? A swept flue and a clean firebox let the buyer's inspector see the chimney properly, and the sweep shows you anything worth fixing before it comes up in the sale. Our pros sweep, check the damper and the cap, and put a written price on any repair, so you can decide what to fix before the listing goes up.

Why exhaust fans go off during a sweep

Kitchen hoods, bathroom fans and a running clothes dryer all push air out of the house. The house then pulls air back in wherever it can, and an open chimney is an easy path, so fine soot can drift down into the room while the flue is being brushed.

Our pros ask for those fans to be off during the visit and seal the fireplace opening around the vacuum hose. The vacuum keeps the firebox under slight suction, so dust moves into the machine rather than past the seal. It's a big part of why a good sweep leaves nothing on the carpet.

Why a liner install starts with a sweep

Liner makers such as Selkirk want the flue and the smoke chamber cleaned before their liner goes in. Deposit left behind can keep burning behind a new liner, and it makes accurate measuring impossible.

After the sweep, a test piece run down the flue finds offsets, tight spots and broken tile that would change the liner size or type. That way the liner quote you get is based on the flue as it really is, and nothing about the install comes as a surprise on the day. The sweep and the measuring happen on the same visit.

Furnace and water heater flues get swept too

A masonry flue for a furnace or water heater doesn't collect soot the way a wood fireplace flue does, but it still needs attention. Loose mortar, bits of tile, leaves and nesting material can fall into it, and exhaust that cools in an oversized flue leaves moisture and flaky scale on the walls.

On a sweep, our pros brush that flue with a head sized to it, clear the base where debris collects, and look at the tile and mortar for the crumbling that condensation causes. If the flue is too big or unlined for the appliance, you'll hear about it and get a price for a liner sized to that appliance's instructions.

FAQs

What homeowners ask before a sweep

Will a sweep leave soot in the house?

It shouldn't. The hearth is covered, the opening is sealed around a running vacuum, and exhaust fans go off during the work. If you find soot we missed, we'll return and clean it at no charge.

How do I get ready for sweep day?

Let the last fire go out a day ahead so the firebox is cool, and clear the mantel and hearth. If the roof is steep or hard to reach, mention it when you book so our pros bring the right ladder.
