Chimney cleaning in Palmetto Estates, step by step
Soot that appears when the fireplace is cold
Black specks on the hearth when no fire has been lit can mean air is moving down the flue. That air carries loose soot with it. A damper that does not close, an open top or a house that draws air through the chimney can all cause this.
Cleaning removes the loose soot that is falling. It does not stop the air movement. We explain which part lets the air through and whether closing it off is a simple adjustment or a separate repair. Keep the damper shut until then.
Cleaning a worn lining without making it worse
Some linings are sound, and some are cracked, flaking or loose at the joints. Brushing a weak lining with the same force as a sound one can break more of it. We adjust the tools and the pressure once we see the surface.
If the lining is too fragile to clean fully, we stop and tell you. The part that was cleaned and the part that was not are both written down. The next decision is then about the lining, not about another sweep.
Booking chimney cleaning in Palmetto Estates after the inspection
The visit begins with a free inspection at your home in Palmetto Estates. We look at the fireplace and flue, then write an estimate that names what the cleaning covers and what would be separate.
Approve the work within 72 hours of that free inspection and 10% comes off the service you book. The window opens at your own inspection rather than on a set date. Ask us to confirm the amount on the estimate before you decide. The offer covers any service you book in that window, not only the sweep.
Parts shared by several flues at the top
Where several flues end on one chimney, they may share a crown and sometimes a single wide cap. Soot from one flue can collect on a screen that covers all of them. Cleaning the cap screen then helps every flue beneath it.
We clear the shared screen when it can be reached and say which flues it serves. If the cap needs repair, the estimate explains which openings are affected. A damaged shared cap can let rain or animals into a flue you do not use.
What a chimney cleaning includes here

Sweep and flue questions from Palmetto Estates
Does the booking discount cover a chimney cleaning?
Yes. A cleaning approved inside 72 hours of your free inspection gets 10% off. So does any other service booked in the same window. The clock starts at your own inspection.
What if part of the flue cannot be reached?
We tell you where the unreached section is and why, and the written record notes it. You are not told the flue is clean when part of it went unbrushed. We also explain whether that section affects safe use.
Why do you look at the flue after it is brushed?
Soot hides the surface. Once it is off, cracks, gaps and damaged parts are easier to see. That visual check is limited to what the brushes reached, and anything it raises is explained separately.
