Getting animals out of Azalea Park chimneys the right way
Clearing the odor after removal
Odor can outlast the animal because nest material, droppings and fluids soak into debris on the smoke shelf and firebox floor. Taking the animal out is only part of the job. We remove the soiled material, clean the surfaces we can reach and check the flue for anything left above. If odor remains after cleanup, we look again rather than covering it with a fragrance. Warm weather can make a lingering odor stronger, so tell us if it returns after a few days.
Gaps at the chase cover
A chase cover that has rusted, warped or pulled away from the siding leaves openings at the top of a framed chimney. Birds and squirrels use those gaps to reach the space inside. Once the chase is confirmed empty, closing the gaps may mean refastening the cover or replacing it, along with the cap on the pipe. Chase cover replacement is priced as its own item on the estimate. Refastening a sound cover costs less than replacing it, and we say so when that is enough.
A cap that seats with no gaps
A cap that is too small for the flue or has worked loose leaves space at its base where a determined animal can squeeze through. Flue-mounted caps must match the outside of the flue tile, and crown-mounted caps must sit flat on the crown. We measure before ordering and fasten the cap so it stays seated, then check the base all the way around once it is on. On a crown that is uneven or cracked, the cap may need a repaired surface before it can sit tight.
Animals that return every season
When animals come back to the same chimney year after year, the way in is still open. A missing cap, a torn screen, a gap under the cap or an opening at the chase cover each works as an invitation. We find the route, confirm the chimney is empty and close it. Repeat visitors are one reason we inspect the cap screen every time we are on the roof. A new cap on one flue and an old one on the next can leave the second as the easy way in.

Asked in Azalea Park about chimney animal removal
What are the rules for bats in a chimney?
Florida restricts bat exclusion during the maternity season, April 16 through August 14, and exclusion devices are used before openings are sealed. We explain the timing that applies when you call.
Do raccoon droppings need special handling?
Yes. The CDC notes that raccoon feces can carry roundworm eggs, so a latrine in a chimney or firebox calls for careful cleanup with protective equipment. Leave it for us rather than sweeping it up yourself.
