Flue cleaning in South Lake Conway Villa done with the right tools
Two fireplaces sharing one chimney stack
Two fireplaces on different floors or on opposite sides of a wall often share one chimney stack, each with its own flue. They are two cleaning jobs. Each has its own firebox, damper, smoke chamber and smoke shelf, and the deposits in one tell you nothing about the other.
Each room is protected in turn. Our crew cleans each fireplace from its own firebox up and brushes each flue from the roof, keeping the debris from one out of the other.
The estimate lists each fireplace separately. If one sees regular fires and the other is almost never lit, the busy one usually carries heavier deposits, and the written record shows that difference for your South Lake Conway Villa home. You can also choose to clean only the one you use and leave the other for later.
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.
A masonry chimney that now vents a gas appliance
Some masonry chimneys that once served wood fires now vent a gas fireplace or another gas appliance. The fuel has changed, but the flue can still collect debris, nests, fallen mortar or old wood-burning deposits that were never removed.
If you smell gas, do not light the appliance. Get everyone out of the home and call 911 or the gas company from outside.
Cleaning and servicing the gas appliance itself is gas fireplace work, handled under our gas fireplace service. What a sweep can do is clear the chimney above the appliance, remove a blockage and check the cap. On a converted fireplace in South Lake Conway Villa, the estimate keeps the two apart, with the flue work priced under the sweep and the appliance referred to the gas fireplace service as its own job.
An ash dump that has not been emptied
Some masonry fireplaces have a small metal door in the firebox floor that drops ash into a chamber below, with its own cleanout door lower down or outside. Ash dropped there is out of sight, and it can build up for years.
A full ash pit can back up into the firebox, hold moisture and give off a stale smell. The door in the firebox floor can also rust shut or warp so it no longer closes.
During a sweep our crew opens the ash dump, checks how full the pit is and empties it through the lower cleanout when it can be reached. A warped or rusted door is noted for repair on the estimate, and ash from the pit goes out in a metal container like any other ash.

What happens if you find damage during the sweep?
We stop, show you what we found and explain what it means for using the fireplace. Each repair goes on the written estimate as its own line, and nothing is fixed or charged without your approval.
Will a sweep fix a fireplace that smokes?
It fixes the part caused by deposits in the flue. A damper that does not open fully, a clogged cap screen or wet wood can also cause smoke, so we check those too and note the results on the written record.
