Sweeping your chimney with a defined scope
What the cleaning covers inside the firebox
The firebox is the part of the fireplace where the fire burns. Its walls and floor are brushed and the ash is removed after the flue work, because deposits from above land there. Grates and andirons are lifted out, cleared of loose ash and returned.
Cleaning leaves the firebrick visible, which makes cracks and open joints easier to spot. Those are noted, not repaired, during a sweep. If the damage needs attention before the next fire, you receive an explanation and a separate estimate for the firebox work.
When the blockage may be an animal
Scratching, calling or movement inside the chimney changes the plan. An occupied flue is not swept until the animal question is settled. Some species are protected, and some nests cannot be disturbed while active. Do not light a fire or use smoke to drive an animal out.
Tell us what you have heard and when it started. We explain the next step, which may be a wait, a referral or an animal removal visit handled on its own terms. Cleaning follows once the flue is empty and can be worked on.
When the cleaning scope changes partway through
Sometimes the flue holds more than the free inspection could show. A hidden blockage or a glazed layer above the reach of a light are examples. When that happens, we stop and explain what changed before going further.
You then choose whether to add the new item, leave it for later or stop the cleaning where it is. The estimate is updated in writing before any added work begins. Nothing new appears on the bill that you did not agree to.
Soft soot, hard crust and what each needs
Soft, powdery soot brushes out easily and is what most cleanings remove. A hard crust clings more firmly and may need extra passes. The two can sit in the same flue, often at different heights.
We tell you which kinds we found and whether all of it came away. If some crust remained, we say where and whether it matters for use. Anything that needs a different method is explained and priced before we try it. A crust that stays behind is written down with its location.

Chimney cleaning answers for households in West Perrine
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.
What should I tell you when booking a chimney sweep?
Give us the number of fireplaces and which ones you use. Add any manual or model label, recent smoke or smell, and access notes for the roof or gate. Anything you do not know, we find out during the free inspection.
