Animal removal and clean-out in Sunny Isles Beach
Other birds nesting on the smoke shelf
Birds other than swifts sometimes build nests on the smoke shelf, on top of the damper or just inside the top of the flue. Twigs, grass and leaves falling into the firebox are a common sign.
Whether the nest can come out now depends on the species and whether it is active. Once it can, the material is removed in full, because a nest is combustible and blocks the draft. We then look at how the birds got in and price a screened cap if one is needed.
When there are young raccoons in the chimney
Young raccoons cannot climb out on their own, and a mother will try hard to get back to them. Removing her and closing the top would leave them to starve. Removing them without her can bring her back to tear at the cap or the roof.
The plan has to keep the family together or account for every animal. We explain the approach that fits what we find and whether it needs a wildlife professional. The cap goes on only once the flue is confirmed empty.
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.
Cleaning up droppings from the firebox and hearth
Droppings in the firebox, on the hearth or on the smoke shelf are removed as part of the clean-out. We keep the material contained, bag it at the fireplace and carry it out of the house.
Surfaces that were soiled are cleaned where they can be reached. If droppings have stained porous brick or stone, some marking may remain, and we tell you before the work whether that is likely. The debris is hauled away with everything else. The room is left clean before we go.
From identification to cap, the animal removal scope
- Identification of the animal in the flue
- Flue brushed after the animal leaves
- Damper operation checked after clean-out
- Odor source traced after removal
Questions about animals in the chimney
Can you remove an animal from my chimney right away?
It depends. The species, whether young are present and Florida's wildlife rules decide what can happen and when. After the free inspection we tell you what is allowed now and what the work involves.
Do you clean the chimney after the animal is gone?
Yes. Nest material, droppings and debris are removed from the smoke shelf, damper and flue, bagged at the fireplace and hauled away. The flue is brushed and then looked at for damage.
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.
