What goes into chimney animal removal in Roosevelt Park
Chimneys that are never used
A fireplace that sits idle for years gives animals a quiet, sheltered space, and without regular use nobody notices the early signs. If you inherited or bought a home with an unused fireplace, have the chimney inspected before anyone lights it. We check for nests, droppings and debris, confirm the flue is clear and fit a screened cap if the top is open. An idle chimney that is capped and clean stays ready for the day someone wants a fire.
Stinging insects at the chimney top
Wasps and bees sometimes nest in a cap, a crown crack or a chase top. Those need a pest control professional before anyone works on the chimney, since disturbing a nest at roof height is dangerous. Once the insects are gone, we inspect the top, repair the crack or opening they used and check the cap screen for damage. A crack large enough for wasps can also let water into the chimney, so it is worth closing. Our crew does not remove active stinging insect nests, since that needs the right protective equipment.
Rats and mice are usually a different problem
Rodents generally enter a house low, through gaps at the foundation, soffit or roofline, and rarely by the chimney top. If what you hear sounds like small, quick scurrying in the walls or ceiling, the chimney may not be involved. We check the chimney and tell you whether it is part of the problem, and when it is not, we say so and suggest a pest control professional. If rodents are in the attic near the chimney, the chimney work still waits until the attic problem is handled.
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.

What Roosevelt Park owners ask about animals in chimneys
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.
What if birds are nesting in the chimney right now?
Leave the nest alone and keep the damper closed. If the birds are chimney swifts, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act protects the active nest, so the cleaning and the cap wait until the birds have left for the season. We can inspect and plan the work before then.
