Chimney Sweeping Done Right in Town 'n' Country
The fireplace and flue are looked over first, free, and the cleaning is then matched to your liner and appliance.
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 Town 'n' Country chimney when the fireplace is idle.
What a clean clay tile liner shows
Most masonry chimneys are lined with clay tile set in refractory mortar, with joints meant to be tight and smooth on the inside. Soot and creosote hide cracks and open joints, so a freshly swept flue is the first real chance to see whether the tiles are still sound.
After sweeping, our pros look at as much of the liner as can be seen from the top and the bottom. Anything cracked, offset or missing mortar in your Town 'n' Country chimney is explained, with the next step and whether the fireplace should wait.
If you think the chimney has caught fire
Heavy creosote can ignite, and one chimney maker's instructions warn that burning creosote makes an extremely hot fire. If you suspect a chimney fire, get everyone outside, call 911 from there and do not go back in to deal with the fireplace.
That maker also says the flue stays out of service until someone has inspected it for damage. Once the fire service has cleared the house, our team in Town 'n' Country inspects and cleans the flue and explains what needs repair.
Salt air, cap screens and damper lids
Salt carried on the wind speeds corrosion of thin exterior metal, and chimney cap screens and top-sealing damper lids are some of the thinnest metal on a chimney. Rusted screen wire breaks apart and drops into the flue, and a corroded lid stops sealing.
During a sweep in Town 'n' Country, our crew looks closely at the cap, the screen and any top damper for corrosion. If they need replacing, we explain which materials stand up better near salt water before anything is ordered.
