A wood stove on the same chimney?

Run a wood stove through the cooler months? Bring it up on the phone, and our pros can say if its flue and connector pipe are ones they'll sweep on the visit. That single-wall pipe runs cooler than the flue, so it collects deposit fast and is the first place a clog shows up.

Where the stove's venting is ours to clean, you'll hear what came out of it and see any repair given its own price before anything is replaced. If the stove's pipe is someone else's job, you'll know who to call. Ask about a stove flue in Worthington Springs at (352) 675-6366.

About 18 miles, measured point to point, lie between Worthington Springs and the Gainesville reference point. Our specialists serve Worthington Springs as part of Union County.

Local Conditions

Sweeping around a long burning season

Light a fire in Worthington Springs most evenings for months, or only on a handful of nights? Either way, the flue needs cleaning once deposit builds, and NFPA 211 sets out a yearly inspection on top of that. Our specialists fit both into one visit, so you get a clean flue and the yearly check without booking a second appointment.

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.

Hand work in the smoke chamber

Above the damper, the walls slope inward to meet the flue. That smoke chamber is where smoke slows and cools, so it loads up faster than the straight flue above it, and a brush dropped from the top slides past most of it.

Our specialists reach in through the open damper with scrapers and short brushes and work the walls from the cap down. Stepped brick walls take longer than smooth, parged ones, because each step is a ledge that holds deposit. The loosened material falls to the smoke shelf, and the vacuum takes it from there, so nothing is left in the corners.

Getting the damper to close again

The damper in the throat of a brick fireplace is a hinged iron or steel lid that shuts the fireplace off from the flue between fires. Deposit and rust build up on its frame, and after a while the lid won't sit flat, so conditioned air leaks up the chimney and outside air drifts in.

During a sweep, our pros clean accessible damper surfaces and check the control's travel. A warped or badly corroded plate may need repair or replacement. The choice depends on the existing system; a top-sealing damper must not be fitted where an appliance needs a permanently open vent.

The pipe between a stove and the chimney

The single-wall pipe between a wood stove and the chimney runs cooler than the flue, so it collects deposit quickly. NFPA 211 lists how that connector should be supported, fastened at each joint and pitched, and a sweep is a good time to set it right.

If a wood stove shares your chimney, ask when you call whether its connector is one our pros can take down and brush on the visit. Where it is, thin or pitted sections are pointed out and priced before anything is refitted, and the thimble where the pipe enters the chimney gets a look for gaps.

FAQs

What homeowners ask before a 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.

Is a sweep the same thing as an inspection?

They're different jobs that fit well together. The sweep cleans the flue; the inspection looks over the chimney for damage once it's clean. Our pros do both on one visit, and you won't pay for the inspection.
