Chimney animal know-how for North Quarter homes
Caps for chimneys with several flues
Some masonry chimneys carry two or more flues, and every one needs covering. Separate caps work when the flues stand apart. Where they sit close together, a single cap that spans them all and rests on the crown may fit better. Either way, each flue needs a screen with the right openings and enough open area. We measure every flue before recommending a style. A spanning cap also covers the crown between flues, which keeps rain off that surface.
Exclusion before the opening is sealed
For bats, and as a principle for every animal, the opening is sealed only after the animals inside have had a way out. With bats, exclusion devices do that job outside the maternity season. With other animals, it may mean waiting for departure or having a specialist remove them. Sealing first is how animals end up trapped and dying in a chimney, which is why we never do it. The same principle applies to a chase or an attic opening near the chimney, which is sealed only once it is empty.
Getting to the chimney top safely
Cap work and inspection from above mean working at the top of the chimney, sometimes on a two-story roof. Our crew brings the ladders and safety equipment the roof calls for. Please do not climb up to look into the flue yourself. An animal at the top can startle you on a ladder, and what you can describe from the ground is all we need to plan the visit. Steep roofs and tile roofs take extra setup, and any added time is written into the estimate.
When the work runs into a second day
Some animal jobs cannot finish in one visit, for example when the cap has to be ordered or a protected nest sets the timing. When a chimney is left open at the end of a work day, our crew covers it before leaving so rain and animals stay out overnight. The damper stays closed, the fireplace stays off, and we tell you when we plan to be back. Nest material we have already removed leaves with us that day.

Chimney wildlife answers for North Quarter homeowners
What if an animal is already inside my North Quarter home?
Close interior doors to confine it, keep people and pets away and open an exterior door in that room if it is safe. A local wildlife service can help with the house, and we handle the chimney once the room is clear.
What if the noises stop on their own?
Quiet can mean the animal left, or that it is stuck or has died. Keep the fireplace off and have the chimney checked before the next fire, since a nest or remains can still block the flue.
