A fireplace you only light now and then

Only light the fireplace a few evenings a year? The flue still collects leaves, nesting material and flakes of old deposit while it waits, and a damp, idle flue smells worse than a busy one.

A sweep now and then keeps an occasional fireplace ready when you want it, and it gives our pros a chance to spot a missing cap screen, a stuck damper or a cracked tile before they cause trouble on the one night you finally light a fire. Ask for a sweep of the fireplace you rarely use in Brooker by calling (352) 675-6366.

Brooker recorded a population of 322 in the 2020 Census. Brooker is an inland service location, separate from the sea coast.

Local Conditions

Swifts nesting in a flue in Brooker

Chimney swifts nest in masonry flues across much of the eastern United States, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act shields them. An active nest can't be disturbed, even for a sweep.

Before sweeping, our pros check for activity. If birds are nesting, the sweep waits until they've gone, and we'll price a screened cap to keep the flue clear afterwards.

How It Works

The order our pros follow on a sweep

Hearth covered, flue checked

Cloths go down, fans go off, the opening is sealed, and our pros check the flue for nests first.
Flue and chamber brushed

A head sized to your flue runs its full length, then the smoke chamber is scraped by hand.
Shelf emptied, damper and cap brushed

The smoke shelf is vacuumed, the damper seat cleaned, and the mesh on the cap cleared up top.
Rundown before we leave

You hear what came out and what we saw, with any repair given its own price for later.

Matching the brush head to your flue

Square and rectangular clay tiles collect deposit deepest in the corners, where smoke moves slowest. A round brush in a square flue scrubs a circle down the middle and leaves a streak in every corner.

Measuring the flue at the top lets our specialists fit a head cut to its outline, with bristles that bend into each corner under light pressure. Rectangular flues get a head matched on both the long and short sides. Worn heads get swapped out, because a head that's lost its reach cleans less with every pass, and the corners are where the thickest deposit hides.

The smoke shelf behind the damper

Behind the damper sits a flat ledge called the smoke shelf. It's there to turn back downdrafts, and it catches everything that falls down the flue, including soot, flakes, leaves and nesting material.

When it fills, it narrows the throat and the fire draws poorly. Debris left there can also smolder on the next fire and send a burst of smoke into the room. Our pros clear the shelf by hand and with the vacuum after the flue and smoke chamber are done, so nothing brushed down stays behind. It's a small step, and skipping it undoes a good part of the sweep.

Inserts, in place or pulled out

NFPA 211 expects an insert to be removed when that's what it takes to examine and clean the venting, and it doesn't require removal when the venting can be cleaned thoroughly with the unit in place.

Our specialists decide which applies to your insert before the visit is priced. With a full liner connected at the top of the insert, the liner can be brushed from the roof and the insert's baffle cleared from inside. Units with a short connector or no liner have to come out so the smoke chamber behind them can be reached. You'll know which it is, and what it costs, up front.

FAQs

Before you book a sweep

Can you sweep a fireplace insert?

Yes. Inserts are cleaned in place or pulled out, depending on how they're vented and whether the liner can be reached from the roof. If a wood stove shares the chimney, bring it up on the phone, and our pros can say if its venting is one they'll sweep.

Do you sweep flues that vent a furnace?

Yes. Furnace and water heater flues are brushed with a head sized to them, and the base is cleared of fallen debris. Our pros also check that it's lined for that appliance.
