Chimney animal details for Fairview Shores homeowners
When a wildlife specialist takes the lead
Some situations call for a wildlife specialist, such as an animal with young, a protected species or an animal that has to be captured. We explain why when that is the case and coordinate timing, so the chimney work follows without gaps. The specialist handles the animal under Florida's nuisance wildlife rule. We handle the chimney, from cleanup and inspection to the cap. You get one written plan that shows where the specialist's part ends and ours begins.
Animal noises at a rental property
Tenants often notice chimney noises first. Ask them to keep the fireplace off and the damper closed, and to note when they hear the sounds. We coordinate access with them, report our findings to you and send the estimate for approval. Once the work is done, the written record tells you what was found and what was installed. If the tenant hears sounds again, the record also tells the next visitor what to check first. Letting tenants know the timing rules up front also helps when some of the work has to wait.
A yearly look at the cap and screen
NFPA 211 calls for chimneys to be inspected annually, and that inspection is a good time to check the cap. Screens tear, rust or clog, fasteners loosen and storms shift caps. A quick look each year catches a failing screen before an animal finds it. We include the cap, screen and crown or chase top in every chimney inspection we do. Screens are cheaper to replace than the cleanup that follows a new animal visit. If you only use the fireplace now and then, the yearly look matters even more, since problems do not show up through regular use.
Protecting your room during cleanup
Chimney cleanup after an animal can be messy, so the room is protected before work begins. We lay down drop cloths, cover the hearth and furniture near the fireplace and keep the fireplace opening covered while material comes down the flue. Debris is bagged inside the fireplace, and the area is cleaned before we leave your Fairview Shores home. If anything was soiled before we arrived, we point it out so it can be dealt with. Tell us about rugs or furniture near the fireplace that you would like moved or covered before work starts.
