Chimney animal removal in Boca Pointe, in order
When a wildlife professional is part of the plan
Some animals, or some stages of an animal's life, can call for a wildlife professional as well as a chimney company. Which ones depends on the species, the rules and what we find.
When that applies, we explain why and help you understand what they will do. Our part is the chimney: clean-out, damage repair and the screened cap once the flue is empty. The estimate shows which steps are ours, so there is no confusion over who does what. We can also time our visit so it follows theirs without a long gap.
Approving animal removal after your free inspection
The free inspection establishes what is in the chimney and what the work involves. You get an estimate for each step that is ours to do, with time to ask about any line.
Approve any service on that estimate within 72 hours of your free inspection and it comes with a 10% discount. The window starts at your own inspection. If part of the plan must wait for the animal, the discount still applies to work you approved in that time.
An animal in the firebox behind the screen
Sometimes an animal drops all the way into the firebox. If a fireplace screen or other barrier closes the opening, it may be all that stands between the animal and the room.
Leave the screen in place and keep people and pets away. Do not open it to look. Tell us what kind of animal it seems to be, and we explain the safest way to get it out of the house. Keep the room closed off in the meantime.
Cap mesh that stands up to salt air
Where salt air reaches the chimney top, galvanized mesh can rust through sooner than it would inland. American Galvanizers Association guidance notes that chlorides shorten the life of galvanized coatings. A rusted screen opens a gap animals can use.
For caps in salt-exposed settings, we explain the stainless and copper options and why the grade matters. IMOA guidance on stainless steel links grade choice to chloride exposure. The estimate shows the material we suggest. Stainless grade and fastener choice matter more in this exposure than on chimneys away from salt air.

What people ask about chimney animal removal
Can you remove a bird nest from my chimney?
Only when the rules allow it. Many native birds and their active nests are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. We identify the bird first, then explain whether the nest can come out now or must wait until it is no longer in use.
What damage do animals do to a chimney?
They can bend dampers, tear screens, loosen caps and scratch linings, and their nests hold moisture against masonry. After the clean-out we note any damage and price repairs separately.
Can you fit a cap on a factory-built chimney?
Yes, using the cap the manufacturer lists for that chimney. A generic cap may not suit it. We identify the brand and check the chase cover around it for gaps as well.
