Chimney animal removal in Tildenville

If an animal gets into the living space

Close interior doors to confine the animal to one room and keep people and pets away. If the room has an exterior door or window, opening it gives the animal a way out, but never corner or chase it. Do not handle wildlife with bare hands. A local wildlife service can advise on removal from the house, and our 24/7 emergency line can help you plan the chimney side once the room is clear. Leave the room quiet and dark with the outside door open, and many animals look for the way out on their own.

What to tell us when you call

A few details from you help us plan the visit and bring the right equipment to your Tildenville home. You do not need to climb anything or look up the flue. If you have seen an animal on the roof or near the chimney top, describe it as well as you can.

• What the sound is like and what time of day you hear it
• Whether anything has fallen into the firebox
• Whether the chimney has a cap you can see from the ground
• Whether the fireplace is wood-burning, factory-built or unused

Scheduling the inspection

Same-day service is available for many inspection calls, which gets the assessment done quickly. Speed on the inspection does not change the rules for the animal. What a fast visit gives you is a clear answer about what is in the chimney, a closed damper and a written plan, so the next steps can happen as soon as the animal and the rules allow. We tell you at the end of the visit which of those steps can be booked right away.

Why the calendar matters

Many chimney animal problems follow the seasons. Birds nest in warmer months, bats raise young in spring and summer, and some animals seek shelter when the weather turns. The rules follow the same calendar, especially for swifts and bats. We plan removal, cleanup and capping around the time of year, and the estimate states any date that affects the schedule. Knowing the season when you first hear sounds helps us tell you how the plan will likely unfold.
