Getting ready for sweep day

Wondering what to do before we arrive? Let the last fire go out a day ahead so the firebox is cool, clear the mantel and hearth of anything breakable, and make sure there's an easy path in from the door.

If the roof is steep or has a satellite dish near the chimney, mention it when you call, so our pros bring the right ladder and plan. Pets are happiest in another room while the vacuum runs, and the whole visit goes quicker with the hearth already clear. Pick a time for your sweep in Jonesville by calling (352) 675-6366.

From the Gainesville reference point, Jonesville is about 10 miles away in a direct line. Jonesville is one of the Alachua County places our pros cover.

Local Conditions

Chimneys with a flue for each appliance

If one masonry chimney at your home in Jonesville vents both a fireplace and a furnace or water heater through separate flues, each one needs its own sweep and its own look. Our specialists brush and label every flue, and check the partitions between them, so exhaust from one appliance can't cross into another and drift back into the house.

How It Works

Three kinds of deposit a sweep runs into

Flue deposit comes in stages. First is a dry, dusty soot that brushes off easily. Next comes a crunchy, flaky layer, the result of cooler fires, which takes firmer brushing and hand scraping in the smoke chamber. The last stage is a hard, shiny glaze that bonds to the tile and shrugs off an ordinary brush.

You'll hear which stage turned up and where it sat, since the pattern says a lot about how the fireplace is being used. The first two come out on a normal sweep. Glaze needs rotary tools or a chemical treatment and a return visit, and that's quoted separately so you can decide.

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.

When rotary cleaning tools come out

Some deposit won't let go of a brush. Hardened, flaky layers in a clay flue can be broken up with rotary tools, flexible rods spun by a drill with heads or whips that knock deposit off the tile as they turn.

Our specialists use them only where the flue can take it. Sound clay tile tolerates them; cracked tile, loose joints and stainless liners don't, so the flue is checked first. Rotary work is noisier and takes longer than brushing, and when it's needed, you'll hear why and what it adds to the price before the drill starts turning. The room gets the same sealed opening and running vacuum.

FAQs

What to know before sweep day in Jonesville

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.

What if birds are nesting in the chimney?

Chimney swifts are protected under federal law, so an active nest has to be left until the birds move on. We'll reschedule the sweep for after they leave and price a screened cap to keep them out next time.
