The Work Behind a Clean Chimney
Our local experts protect your room, clean the full system and tell you what the clean surfaces show in Port Tampa.
The smoke shelf and smoke chamber above the damper
Behind and above the damper sits the smoke shelf, and above that the sloped smoke chamber. Florida's code calls for the chamber to be parged smooth with refractory mortar, yet soot, fallen mortar and debris still gather on the shelf and on any rough or stepped surfaces.
Our sweeps clean both areas by hand and with brushes shaped for them, then look at the surfaces while they are clean. Cracks or bare brick in your Port Tampa fireplace are explained, and any repair is quoted separately.
The pipe between a stove and the chimney
On a wood stove, the connector pipe runs from the appliance to the chimney, and it collects deposits just as the flue does. NFPA 211 looks at how that pipe is supported, how its joints are fastened and how it is pitched, since a sagging or loose connector can leak smoke into the room.
We clean the connector along with the chimney and check its joints and support. If a section of the pipe in your Port Tampa home is corroded or pulled apart, we explain the fix before the stove is used again.
Before the first fire after a long break
A fireplace that has not been used for a season or longer can hide nests, debris and damp deposits, and a cap may have come loose in the meantime. Lighting it without a look risks smoke in the room, or worse.
Our sweeps check and clean a chimney that has been sitting idle, so you know it is ready before you light it. For homes in Port Tampa, the inspection that comes first is free, and a sweep booked within 72 hours of it is 10% off.
Starting a fire without adding to the problem
EPA Burn Wise advises starting fires with newspaper, dry kindling or natural fire starters, and never with gasoline, kerosene or charcoal lighter fluid. Many wax and sawdust logs, it adds, are meant only for open fireplaces, so check a stove or insert manual before using one.
Small habits like these keep a chimney cleaner and safer between visits. Our family-owned team is glad to talk them through when we sweep your Port Tampa chimney, and every visit is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
On any service we offer
Book the cleaning no later than 72 hours after the inspection for 10% off.
