What our chimney animal work covers

Why animals come back to the same chimney

A chimney that has sheltered one animal often attracts another. Scent, old nest material and an easy way in all play a part. USFWS notes that chimney swifts often return to the same chimney.

That is why the clean-out and the cap matter as much as the removal. Taking away the nest material and closing the top breaks the pattern. If you notice activity at the top again, tell us early, before a new nest is built. An early call usually means a simpler job.

Pets and a chimney animal

Dogs and cats can react strongly to an animal in the chimney, and a fight between a pet and a wild animal can hurt both. Keep pets away from the fireplace until the problem is solved.

If a pet has already had contact with the animal, check it for wounds and call your vet. Tell us what happened, because it can help identify the animal. We plan the removal so the pet is not in the way. A calm house makes the work quicker and safer.

Damage to a chimney liner from animals

Animals moving through a flue can scratch or dislodge parts of a lining. Nests pressed against the walls hold moisture. On a metal liner, the cap and top plate can be pulled loose.

After the clean-out, we look at the lining as far as it can be seen. Damage is noted with its location and what it means for use. Liner repairs are a separate decision, priced only if you want them. We explain whether any damage affects use before the next fire.

Stopping repeat animal visits in Broadview Park

Once a chimney in Broadview Park has been cleared, the goal is to keep it that way. A well-fitted screened cap, a damper that closes and repaired gaps at the crown or chase do most of the work.

Close the damper when the fireplace is cold and look at the cap from the ground now and then. If you hear activity again, tell us early. A problem caught before a nest is built is simpler to deal with. It also keeps the flue clear for the next fire.

Asking about animal removal in Broadview Park

How do you get bats out of a chimney?

Florida's rule allows bats to be moved out only with exclusion devices or a registered repellent, and only outside the maternity season. An exclusion device lets them leave but not return. We explain what is allowed at the time and who carries it out.

Where does a removed animal go afterward?

Florida's nuisance wildlife rule limits where a caught animal may be released, and some species may not be moved at all. We explain what will happen to the animal before any removal starts.

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.
