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 Yankeetown by calling (352) 675-6366.

Yankeetown is on our Levy County list of places we serve. When the 2020 Census counted Yankeetown, it found 588 residents.

Local Conditions

Sweeping where salt air reaches the cap

With the coast this close to Yankeetown, salt settles on the metal at the top of the chimney, and cap screens rust through faster than they would further from the water. Rust flakes then fall onto the smoke shelf with the soot and add to what the next fire has to push past.

On a sweep here our pros brush the screen, check each strand for pitting, and clear the rust flakes from the shelf. A cap that's rusting through gets a price for a stainless replacement.

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.

Checking for nests before the brushes go in

Before any brush goes down the flue, our pros look and listen for nesting activity. Chimney swifts build nests inside masonry chimneys, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act covers them, so an active nest can't be disturbed until the birds have left for the season.

If a nest is active, the sweep waits, and you'll hear when it can be rescheduled. Old nesting material from a past season comes out with the rest of the debris. Once the flue is clear, a screened cap is the usual way to keep the next one out, and we'll price it if you want one, fitted after the birds are gone.

Why exhaust fans go off during a sweep

Kitchen hoods, bathroom fans and a running clothes dryer all push air out of the house. The house then pulls air back in wherever it can, and an open chimney is an easy path, so fine soot can drift down into the room while the flue is being brushed.

Our pros ask for those fans to be off during the visit and seal the fireplace opening around the vacuum hose. The vacuum keeps the firebox under slight suction, so dust moves into the machine rather than past the seal. It's a big part of why a good sweep leaves nothing on the carpet.

Clearing the cap screen on top

A spark-arresting cap has a mesh screen around its sides. It stops embers and animals, and it also catches soot and flakes as smoke passes through. A furred-up screen cuts the open area smoke has to escape through, and the fire starts to smoke into the room.

On every sweep where the roof allows it, our pros brush the screen clean from outside and inside, check the cap is fastened to the flue, and look for rust holes. A screen that keeps plugging quickly can point to smoldering fires or wet wood, and that's worth a conversation before the next load goes in.

FAQs

Soot, timing and the room, answered

Can your pros sweep my chimney in Yankeetown?

Happily. We sweep chimneys in Yankeetown, and a sweep comes with a free inspection of the flue while it's clean. Mention the fireplace type on the phone, and we'll bring the right brushes.

How soon after a sweep can I light a fire?

The same evening, unless our pros found damage and told you to wait. Start with a small fire and the damper fully open, and watch that the smoke rises straight up.
