Keeping Parramore chimneys empty and clean
Clearing the odor after removal
Odor can outlast the animal because nest material, droppings and fluids soak into debris on the smoke shelf and firebox floor. Taking the animal out is only part of the job. We remove the soiled material, clean the surfaces we can reach and check the flue for anything left above. If odor remains after cleanup, we look again rather than covering it with a fragrance. Warm weather can make a lingering odor stronger, so tell us if it returns after a few days.
Debris on the smoke shelf
The smoke shelf is the ledge behind and above the damper in a masonry fireplace. Anything that falls down the flue lands there, including nest material, droppings and the occasional animal. It is hard to see from the firebox, so debris can sit there for years. Our cleanup reaches the smoke shelf and clears it, and we tell you what we found there. What sits on the shelf often shows which animal used the chimney and for how long.
A family-owned team that explains the rules
Orlando Chimney Service is family owned and locally owned. Wildlife rules can be confusing, and we take the time to explain which ones apply to the animal in your chimney and why some steps wait. You get the plan in writing, along with the reasons behind it, from the same local business that does the cleanup and fits the cap. Our chimney animal pros would rather explain a rule twice than leave you guessing. When a step has to wait on the calendar, we also remind you when it is time to schedule it.
Living with a new screened cap
A screened cap needs little attention, though it is not maintenance free. On a wood-burning chimney, the screen collects soot and should be checked during each sweep. After a storm, look at the cap from the ground to make sure it is still seated. If you hear sounds in the chimney again, call us before lighting a fire, so we can see what changed. Problems with a new cap usually show from the ground as a tilt, a gap or a torn screen.

Before you call about an animal in Parramore
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.
Why do you check the smoke shelf?
Nest material and droppings often land on the smoke shelf behind the damper, out of sight from the room. We clear it during the cleanup, so debris does not stay in the smoke path.
