Getting animals out of Tangelo Park 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.
Nest material and creosote together
In a wood-burning chimney, dry nest material sits on or near creosote that has built up on the flue walls. Both are combustible, and together they make the flue a poor place for a fire. That is why the fireplace stays off until both are cleared. A chimney sweep removes the creosote, and our cleanup removes the nest, before any fire is lit again. On a chimney that sees regular fires, the sweep and nest removal are easiest to do on the same visit.
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.
Maintenance visits after the cap is on
A cap does its job only while the screen stays clear and fastened. We offer maintenance visits, which line up with the annual inspection NFPA 211 asks for. On a maintenance visit our crew checks that the cap is still tight to the flue, that the screen is undamaged and clear of leaves and nest starts, and that nothing has moved into a second flue or the chase. The Florida residential code expects a spark arrestor screen to be removable for cleaning, so a clogged screen can be cleared rather than replaced.

Before you call about an animal in Tangelo Park
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.
Should I keep the glass doors closed?
If the fireplace has glass doors, keeping them shut adds a barrier between the flue and the room. Keep the damper closed too, and do not light a fire while an animal may still be inside.
