How Our Sweeps Clean Chimneys in Progress Village
Sweeping in Progress Village starts with a free inspection, and the price is settled before a brush goes up the flue.
Sweeping around a top-sealing damper
With a top-sealing damper, the seal sits at the chimney top, where a spring-loaded lid presses onto a gasket, and a cable hanging down into the firebox opens and closes it. Brushes have to pass the open lid and its spring without bending them, and soot on the gasket stops the lid sealing properly.
Tell us if your chimney has one, and our crew will clean the gasket, check the cable and confirm the lid closes tight after the sweep. It is a small detail that keeps rain and air out of your Progress Village chimney when the fireplace is idle.
Emptying the cleanout at the base of the flue
Some masonry chimneys have a cleanout door near the bottom of the flue, where soot collects between sweeps. Florida's code calls for a noncombustible cover on that opening, and a door that is left open or has rusted through lets in air and pests.
Our sweeps empty the cleanout when the chimney has one, bag the debris and check that the door closes. It is a part of your Progress Village chimney that is easy to forget until it is full.
When the fireplace smells between fires
Deposits in a flue can give off a sharp, smoky smell, most noticeably on damp days or when the house pulls air down the chimney. Sweeping removes the deposits behind much of that odor, but water from an open top or a draft problem can keep it coming back.
We tell you what we think is behind the smell in your Progress Village home and what the sweep is likely to change. If a cap, a damper seal or a repair would help more than cleaning, you hear that before paying for anything extra.
Cleaning the firebox and a look at its brick
The firebox is cleaned out along with the rest of the system, including ash, loose soot and anything that fell during brushing. With the brick clean, cracked firebrick and open joints are much easier to see.
Florida's code calls for firebrick laid in refractory mortar with thin joints, so damage there is a repair for heat-rated materials, not ordinary mortar. We point out anything we see in your Progress Village firebox and quote firebox repair separately if it is needed.
