Chimney sweep work from the roof down
A cap screen choked with soot
The mesh screen on a chimney cap keeps animals out and stops sparks from leaving the flue. It also catches soot and creosote as smoke passes through it. A coated or clogged screen can hold back the draft and push smoke back toward the fireplace.
One chimney maker's instructions tell owners to check the spark arrestor screen for creosote or soot and to clean it when buildup is found, scrubbing it with a wire brush. On many caps the screen or the whole assembly comes off for cleaning and goes back on with the same fasteners.
Our technicians clean the cap screen on every sweep that goes to the roof. A screen that is torn, rusted through or pulling away from the cap is not something a brush fixes, so a replacement cap is quoted as a separate line.
Sweeping an outdoor masonry fireplace
An outdoor masonry fireplace collects the same deposits as an indoor one, plus rain, leaves and whatever the wind carries into an open firebox. Because it often sits idle between gatherings, wet debris and ash can stay in it for long stretches.
The work matches an indoor sweep. The flue is swept, the smoke shelf and firebox are cleared and the damper is worked if there is one. Soot on a patio or outdoor furniture is still a mess, so the area around the opening gets covered before brushing.
Some outdoor fireplaces are built without a cap. An open flue lets rain and animals in, and our technicians say so if yours is uncapped and quote a cap separately. The same burning basics apply outside as in, with dry seasoned wood and no trash in the fire. Backyard or living room, every sweep in Lake Mann Estates starts with the same free inspection and written estimate.
Tall chimneys on two-story homes
A chimney that rises past a second story means a longer flue, a longer ladder and a higher roof to work from. None of that changes the cleaning itself, but it changes the setup and the time the job takes.
Before anyone climbs, our technicians set the ladder and fall protection and bring enough rod length to reach the full flue from one end. On a very tall flue the brushing is often done in stages, with the smoke chamber and firebox finished from inside.
A tall chimney also has more exposed height for wind and rain. While the crew is up there, they look over the cap and the upper brick, and anything that needs work goes on the estimate by name. The sweep price itself is set in writing before the ladder goes up.
Workmanship warranty and 100% satisfaction on every sweep
Every sweep and every repair from our crew is backed by our workmanship warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If something about the cleaning is not right, tell us, and we work it out with you under that guarantee. None of that depends on the size of the job.
That promise rests on how the work is done. The room is protected before brushing, the debris is collected and carried out, the damper is tested before the crew leaves and the written record shows what was cleaned. Soot where it should not be falls under our workmanship warranty.
The written record also draws the line on what the guarantee covers. A crack found during the sweep is a finding, not something the sweep caused or fixed, and it is quoted separately. The same terms apply on every visit.

Chimney cleaning answers for Lake Mann Estates homes
What if the flue has a hard, shiny coating the brushes cannot remove?
That is glazed creosote, and it calls for a separate removal treatment applied per the product label. We quote it as its own line, and the treated material is swept out on a second visit once it dries.
Do you sweep chimneys on steep or two-story roofs?
Yes. Our crew brings its own ladders and fall protection, and when the roof is unsafe on the day, we clean from inside where possible and set a new time for the roof part. You never need to climb or hold a ladder.
