What goes into chimney animal removal in Johnson Village
An old nest found at the start of the season
Nests built in spring are often found in fall, when someone looks up the flue before the first fire. By then the nest is usually empty, though that still needs confirming, and for swifts the birds must have left. We remove the material, sweep the flue and check the damper and cap, so the first fire of the season starts in a clear chimney. If the nest turns out to be active, the plan changes to match the animal and the rules for it.
Silence does not mean the chimney is clear
When the noise stops, it is tempting to assume the animal has gone. It may have left, it may be sleeping, or it may have died in the flue. Even an empty chimney still holds the nest. We check before a cap goes on or a fire is lit, because closing the top on a living animal or lighting a fire under a nest both create new problems. A short look at the chimney top and the flue answers the question for certain, and the inspection is free.
Comparing chimney animal quotes
Two quotes for chimney animal work can describe very different jobs. Compare whether each includes identifying the animal, how protected species are handled, whether the cleanup covers the smoke shelf, whether a sweep is included and what cap and screen are proposed. Our estimate lists each of those, so a side-by-side comparison is straightforward. Ask any contractor how they confirm the chimney is empty before the cap goes on, and compare the answers. A quote that skips the smoke shelf or the sweep can look cheaper and leave debris behind.
The written record you keep
When the chimney work is finished, you receive a written record of what we did. It notes what we found in the flue or on the smoke shelf, what we removed, whether a sweep was part of the job and which cap and screen we fitted. The record is plain enough to hand to a home inspector or a buyer, and it shows whoever looks at the chimney next year what changed. If a wildlife specialist handled part of the job, the record names that step as their work, not ours.

What Johnson Village owners ask about animals in chimneys
Should I light a fire to make the animal leave?
No. Smoke and heat can harm the animal, trap it in the flue or push it into the house, and nest material burns. Keep the fireplace off and the damper closed until the chimney has been assessed.
Is it legal to catch the animal and let it go elsewhere?
Florida's rule on nuisance wildlife, F.A.C. 68A-9.010, lets a property owner, or someone the owner authorizes, remove nuisance wildlife only by permitted methods, and it limits where a live-caught animal can be released. Bats and nesting birds come with separate limits, so we bring in a wildlife specialist when one is needed.
