What goes into chimney animal removal in Robinswood
Gaps at the chase cover
A chase cover that has rusted, warped or pulled away from the siding leaves openings at the top of a framed chimney. Birds and squirrels use those gaps to reach the space inside. Once the chase is confirmed empty, closing the gaps may mean refastening the cover or replacing it, along with the cap on the pipe. Chase cover replacement is priced as its own item on the estimate. Refastening a sound cover costs less than replacing it, and we say so when that is enough.
Another appliance venting through the chimney
Some chimneys carry more than one flue, and one of them may serve another appliance in the house. A nest in that flue matters as much as one above the fireplace. Mention every appliance that vents through the chimney when you call. We check each flue for nests and debris, and a blocked appliance flue goes to the top of the list for cleanup. Keep that appliance off if we advise it until its flue has been cleared.
A yearly look at the cap and screen
NFPA 211 calls for chimneys to be inspected annually, and that inspection is a good time to check the cap. Screens tear, rust or clog, fasteners loosen and storms shift caps. A quick look each year catches a failing screen before an animal finds it. We include the cap, screen and crown or chase top in every chimney inspection we do. Screens are cheaper to replace than the cleanup that follows a new animal visit. If you only use the fireplace now and then, the yearly look matters even more, since problems do not show up through regular use.
When several homes on a street hear animals
Animals that find one open chimney often try others nearby. If neighbors hear similar sounds, each chimney needs its own assessment, since the animal and its situation can differ from house to house. A screened cap on every chimney closes the pattern. We can inspect more than one home on a visit when the owners arrange it. Each owner still receives a separate written plan and estimate for their own chimney. If a neighbor's open chimney keeps attracting animals, a cap on yours is still the part you control.

Your Robinswood chimney animal questions, answered
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.
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.
