Getting animals out of Rowena Gardens chimneys the right way
Keep the fireplace off while an animal is inside
The urge to light a fire and smoke the animal out is understandable, and it causes more harm than good. Heat and smoke can kill or injure the animal, trap it higher in the flue or drive it down into the room. Nest material burns, and a dead animal left in the flue brings its own cleanup. Keep the fireplace unused and the damper closed until the chimney has been assessed and cleared. Banging on the flue or spraying water up the chimney only frightens the animal further and can drive it into the house.
A sturdier cap after an animal broke through
A light screen can be bent or torn by a raccoon or squirrel that wants in. When the old cap has been damaged that way, a heavier cap with a stiffer screen and secure fastening is worth considering. We show you what failed on the old one and quote options that hold up better, with the screen openings still inside the code range. A sturdier cap is still removable for cleaning, as the code requires for spark arrestors.
Backed by our satisfaction guarantee
Cleanup, sweeping and cap installation are covered by our workmanship warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If the finished work falls short in any way, let us know and our crew returns to fix it. Any service you book within 72 hours after the free inspection is 10% off, and the inspection comes first, so you see the full plan before deciding. The discount is written into the estimate, so the price you approve already reflects it. Our satisfaction guarantee covers the cleanup, the sweep and the cap, which are the parts of the job we control.
The free inspection comes first
The inspection for an animal problem costs nothing, and neither does the written estimate. We look at the chimney from the roof and from inside, tell you what is in it and what the rules allow, and price each step. There is no obligation to book the work. If we find the chimney empty and the cap sound, we tell you that too. Either way, you leave the visit knowing what is in the chimney and what comes next.

Chimney animal questions from Rowena Gardens
What are the rules for bats in a chimney?
Florida restricts bat exclusion during the maternity season, April 16 through August 14, and exclusion devices are used before openings are sealed. We explain the timing that applies when you call.
What does the code say about a chimney cap screen?
For masonry chimneys, the Florida residential code (R1003.9.2) calls for screen openings that do not pass a 1/2 inch sphere nor block a 3/8 inch sphere, a net free area at least four times the flue outlet and a screen that can be removed for cleaning. We size the cap to those rules.
