Fires built with softwood or damp logs

Wood that hasn't dried long enough wastes heat boiling off its water, so the smoke rises sluggish and cool and coats the flue on its way up. EPA Burn Wise suggests splitting wood and letting it dry at least six months before it goes on a fire.

If the last load was on the green side, your flue probably picked up a heavier layer than usual. Our pros sweep it out and tell you what they saw, and they'll share a quick way to test your wood pile ahead of your next fire.

The sea coast does not form part of Orange Heights's boundary. In a straight line, Orange Heights lies about 13 miles from the Gainesville reference point.

Local Conditions

Fireplaces that stay dry inland

Away from the coast, a closed-off flue in Orange Heights can stay fairly dry between fires, which keeps odor down. When a musty smell appears anyway, water getting in is the first thing to rule out.

During a sweep our pros look over the crown, the cap and the metal where the roof and chimney join for the gap that's letting rain in, and price the fix if they find one.

How It Works

Drop cloth down to damper shut

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.

A cleaning head that suits the liner

The lining matters when a brush is chosen. A head that fits loosely may leave deposits behind, while one unsuitable for the system can damage its surface. The liner or chimney manufacturer's cleaning instructions determine which tools belong inside it.

Tell us if you know the liner's make or have its paperwork. That information helps identify the right cleaning method and any accessible cleanout. Parts that need attention can be discussed alongside the sweep instead of assuming every metal flue has the same fittings.

What wet wood does to a flue

Wood with too much water in it spends part of the fire's heat boiling that water off, so the smoke leaves heavier and cooler and condenses as it climbs. EPA Burn Wise recommends splitting firewood and drying it at least six months, and suggests checking a split piece with an inexpensive moisture meter before it goes on the fire.

What comes out of the flue tells its own story. A heavy, flaky layer after a short season points at the wood. Drier wood burns hotter and cleaner, and the next sweep brings down a lighter, easier layer.

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.
