What goes into chimney animal removal in Summerport Beach
A top-sealing damper as a second barrier
A top-sealing damper is a lid at the top of the flue that closes against a gasket and is opened with a cable from the firebox. When closed, it shuts the flue against animals, rain and outside air. It must be fully open whenever the fireplace is used. For chimneys that animals keep visiting, top-sealing damper installation can add a second barrier alongside a screened cap. Because it seals at the top, it also keeps rain and debris out of the flue while the fireplace is not in use.
Openings near the chimney into the attic
Animals that appear to be in the chimney are sometimes in the attic beside it, having entered through a gap in the soffit, fascia or roof near the chimney. We check the chimney top, flue and chase first. If the evidence points into the attic instead, we tell you so and suggest the right professional, since attic exclusion is outside chimney work. If both spaces are involved, we explain which openings belong to the chimney and which do not.
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.
How animals get into masonry chimneys
On a masonry chimney, the entry point is usually the top of the flue. An uncapped flue, a cap with a torn or rusted screen, a cap loose on its base or gaps in the crown all let animals in. We inspect each of those points from the roof, and the fix follows what we find, from a new screen to a new cap or crown repair. On an older chimney, gaps where the flue meets the crown can let small animals slip in beside the flue.

Your Summerport Beach chimney animal questions, answered
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.
Will you cover the chimney if the job takes more than a day?
Yes. When a chimney is left open at the end of a work day, we cover it before we leave, and we clean up and haul away the nest material and debris when the job is done.
