Why we do not promise removal over the phone
A phone call gives us useful clues, but not enough to promise when or how an animal will come out. The species, whether young are present, the rules that apply and the chimney itself all shape the answer.
What we can promise is a clear next step. After the free inspection, you know what is in the chimney as far as it can be identified. You also know what is allowed now and what the work will cost. If the answer involves waiting or a referral, you hear that directly rather than a hopeful guess.
Reaching the animal from the top or the bottom
An animal can be reached from the chimney top, from the firebox through the damper, or through a cleanout if one exists. The choice depends on where the animal is, how the chimney is built and what the plan is for getting it out.
We choose the access that keeps the animal away from the living space and keeps the room clean. If the roof cannot be reached safely on the day, we explain what can still be done from below and what must wait.
Chimney animals in a rented home
In a rented home, the tenant usually hears the animal first and the owner decides on the work. Tell us who is arranging the visit and who approves repairs, such as the cap.
We can share the estimate and written record with both if you ask. The tenant can help with access and describe the sounds. Clear roles mean the animal is not left in the chimney while approvals go back and forth. We can also send the findings to the owner directly if that is easier.
When a raccoon tries to get back in
A raccoon that has been using a chimney may try hard to return, especially if it believes young are still inside. It can pull at a loose cap, tear at a screen or work at flashing and siding nearby.
That is one reason the flue must be confirmed empty before the cap goes on, and why the cap has to be fixed firmly. If you see signs of an attempt after the work, such as a bent screen, tell us promptly. We look at it before a gap opens.

Asking about animal removal in Miami Gardens
Will you handle the animal or refer me to someone?
It depends on the animal, the stage it is at and the rules that apply. Some cases may need a wildlife professional as well as our team. We tell you which steps are ours and which are not.
Can a squirrel get stuck in a chimney?
Yes. Squirrels can fall into an uncapped flue and be unable to climb a smooth lining. A trapped squirrel needs a way out or a careful capture. We identify the situation before anything is disturbed.
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.
