Chimney animal know-how for Lake Mary Jane homes

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.

A written record of the chimney work

After the job, you receive a written record of what we found, what was removed, which cap and screen were installed and any repairs made. Keep it with your home paperwork. It answers questions if you sell, and it shows the next person who inspects the chimney what was done. If a protected species was involved, the record notes when the cap was installed. That date helps show the work followed the timing the wildlife rules set. Keep it with the fireplace manual so both are easy to find when the chimney is next inspected.

Scheduling the inspection

Same-day service is available for many inspection calls, which gets the assessment done quickly. Speed on the inspection does not change the rules for the animal. What a fast visit gives you is a clear answer about what is in the chimney, a closed damper and a written plan, so the next steps can happen as soon as the animal and the rules allow. We tell you at the end of the visit which of those steps can be booked right away.

Temporary measures while the plan is set

While removal waits on timing or a specialist, a few temporary steps keep the animal out of the house. Keep the damper closed and the fireplace doors shut, or tape cardboard over an open fireplace. Do not block the top of the chimney yourself. Temporary measures come off once the work is done, and the fireplace stays unused until the flue is cleared. Tell us what you put in place so we know what to remove when we arrive.

Chimney wildlife answers for Lake Mary Jane homeowners

Are chimney swifts protected?

Yes. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act protects chimney swifts, and an active nest of theirs cannot be taken out. The chimney is cleaned and capped after the birds have left for the season.

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.
