Chimney animal details for Lake Weldona homeowners
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.
The listed cap for a factory-built chimney
A factory-built chimney must be terminated according to its manufacturer's instructions, and the cap is part of that listed system. If an animal got past the cap on a prefabricated fireplace, the replacement should be the cap approved for that model. We read the listing label, identify the chimney series and quote the correct cap. A generic screened cap is not a substitute on these systems. The listed cap may take a little longer to arrive, and the damper stays closed while we wait for it.
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.
Birds other than chimney swifts
Chimney swifts are not the only birds the Migratory Bird Treaty Act covers. The Act protects listed migratory birds, their nests and their eggs. When a nest in the flue or the cap belongs to a bird we cannot identify with confidence, we treat it as protected and plan the removal and the cap for when the nest is no longer active. That can mean a short wait, and the fireplace stays off while we wait.

Your Lake Weldona chimney animal questions, answered
What does the chimney cleanup include?
We remove nest material and droppings from the flue, smoke shelf and firebox, check the damper and inspect the flue before the fireplace is used again. A full sweep is added where the flue needs it.
Is a bat in the house a health concern?
The CDC advises contacting a doctor or the health department after possible contact with a bat, including waking to find one in the room. Do not handle it. We take care of the chimney side once the room is clear.
