Sweeping before a home sale or purchase

Selling or buying a place with a fireplace? A swept flue makes any inspection more useful, because deposit hides cracks and gaps that matter to both sides of the sale, and a buyer's inspector will want to see bare tile.

Our specialists discuss what cleaning revealed in the accessible areas and whether another examination or repair is needed. Your free written estimate separates the proposed work so you can review it before deciding. A sweep cannot answer questions about areas the visit could not reach. Talk through a visit to your home in Manatee Road at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Storm debris in inland chimneys

Heavy rain and strong wind from a tropical storm can reach well inland, far from where it comes ashore, according to NOAA's National Hurricane Center.

Once the weather clears, a sweep removes the leaves and bits of masonry that blew or fell into the flue. Our pros also look at the cap and crown for storm damage while they're up top, and price any repair on a written quote.

How It Works

Soot out, room clean, findings shared

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.

Lighting up after the sweep

You can light a fire the same evening a sweep is done, unless the notes say otherwise. Start small, with the damper fully open, and watch that the smoke goes straight up.

With the deposit gone the flue drafts better, so the fire may catch faster than it used to, and it's worth using a little less kindling the first time. If our pros found a cracked tile, a gap in the liner or heavy glaze, they'll tell you to hold off until it's fixed, and the reason will be noted on the quote. In that case, a freshly swept chimney stays cold until the repair is done.

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

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.

Does someone need to be home for a sweep in Manatee Road?

Someone needs to let our pros in and point out the fireplace, and it helps to be around at the end to hear what we found. Reserve a time that suits you in Manatee Road at (352) 675-6366.
