Keeping Rosemont chimneys empty and clean
The damper is your barrier
A closed damper separates an animal in the flue from your living space. Leave it shut, and keep glass doors closed if the fireplace has them. Opening the damper to look up the flue invites a frightened bird or bat into the room, and an animal that falls onto the grate is harder to handle inside the house. Our assessment starts at the chimney top and in the firebox, with the damper left where it is. If the damper does not close fully, stuff an old towel into the gap below it and tell us when you call.
Telling attic noises from chimney noises
Sound travels through framing, so it is not always clear where an animal is. Noises that seem to come from inside the fireplace opening or from right above the damper usually mean the flue. Noises spread along the ceiling point to the attic. Our inspection looks at the chimney from the roof and from the firebox, which usually settles the question. Tell us exactly where in the room the sound seems loudest, since that helps us start in the right place.
Animals that return every season
When animals come back to the same chimney year after year, the way in is still open. A missing cap, a torn screen, a gap under the cap or an opening at the chase cover each works as an invitation. We find the route, confirm the chimney is empty and close it. Repeat visitors are one reason we inspect the cap screen every time we are on the roof. A new cap on one flue and an old one on the next can leave the second as the easy way in.
Why we do not promise a removal date
It would be easy to promise the animal will be gone tomorrow. For protected birds, bats in maternity season or a mother with young, that promise could break the law or leave young animals to die in the flue. We tell you what can happen now, such as sealing the damper, cleaning the firebox and planning the cap, and what has to wait for the animal to leave or for the rules to allow it. If the timing changes, for example because the animals leave sooner than expected, we move the next steps up.

Before you call about an animal in Rosemont
Why can't you cap the chimney right away?
Closing the top with an animal inside traps it, and some species are protected while nesting. We confirm the chimney is empty, or wait until the rules allow exclusion, before a cap goes on.
Is the chimney work guaranteed?
Cleanup, sweeping and cap installation all carry our workmanship warranty, with our 100% satisfaction guarantee on top, and anything about the finished work that is not right, we come back to fix.
