Our approach to chimney wildlife in Kingswood Manor
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.
Damper damage after nesting
Nesting and a trapped animal's struggle can jam a damper, bend its plate or break its handle. After cleanup, we open and close the damper, check how well it seals and look at its frame. A damper that no longer closes fully lets animals and outside air into the room. If it needs repair, we describe it as a separate item with its own price. A damper that works again also gives you a barrier the next time something falls into the flue.
Animals inside a factory-built chase
On a factory-built fireplace, the chimney pipe runs inside a framed chase, and an animal can get into the enclosure without entering the pipe. Entry is usually through a gap at the chase cover or a damaged cap. Removal may need access at the top of the chase, and soiled insulation may have to come out. We explain the plan for that space and price the cover or cap work that closes it. Animals in a chase can also reach insulation around the pipe, which may need replacing to keep the clearances right.
How animals get into factory-built chimneys
Factory-built chimneys have a metal pipe with a listed cap on top, running inside a framed chase. Animals get in through a damaged cap into the pipe, or through gaps at the chase cover into the chase itself. Each route needs a different fix. We identify which one the animal used and quote the listed cap, the chase cover work or both. Closing only one of the two routes leaves the other open for the next animal. The cap for the pipe must be the listed one, while the chase cover is made to the chase's own measurements.

Before you call about an animal in Kingswood Manor
What if birds are nesting in the chimney right now?
Leave the nest alone and keep the damper closed. If the birds are chimney swifts, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act protects the active nest, so the cleaning and the cap wait until the birds have left for the season. We can inspect and plan the work before then.
Do I get anything in writing after the work?
Yes. You get a written record of the work we did, including the cleanup and the cap we fitted. It is useful for your house file or when you sell.
