What goes into chimney animal removal in Belle Isle
If an animal gets into the living space
Close interior doors to confine the animal to one room and keep people and pets away. If the room has an exterior door or window, opening it gives the animal a way out, but never corner or chase it. Do not handle wildlife with bare hands. A local wildlife service can advise on removal from the house, and our 24/7 emergency line can help you plan the chimney side once the room is clear. Leave the room quiet and dark with the outside door open, and many animals look for the way out on their own.
Nest material and creosote together
In a wood-burning chimney, dry nest material sits on or near creosote that has built up on the flue walls. Both are combustible, and together they make the flue a poor place for a fire. That is why the fireplace stays off until both are cleared. A chimney sweep removes the creosote, and our cleanup removes the nest, before any fire is lit again. On a chimney that sees regular fires, the sweep and nest removal are easiest to do on the same visit.
When a storm loosens or removes the cap
Strong wind can loosen a cap, tear its screen or carry it off the chimney, leaving the flue open. After a storm, look at the chimney top from the ground. If the cap is missing or tilted, keep the damper closed and call for an inspection. We confirm nothing moved in while the flue was open and then replace or refasten the cap. A cap that has shifted once may need different fasteners so it stays put the next time.
The free inspection comes first
The inspection for an animal problem costs nothing, and neither does the written estimate. We look at the chimney from the roof and from inside, tell you what is in it and what the rules allow, and price each step. There is no obligation to book the work. If we find the chimney empty and the cap sound, we tell you that too. Either way, you leave the visit knowing what is in the chimney and what comes next.

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.
