How our pros handle chimney animals in University
Raccoons that use a chimney as a den
A raccoon may treat a masonry chimney as a sheltered den, and a mother may raise her young on the smoke shelf above the damper. Separating a mother from her young creates a new problem, and cornered raccoons can be dangerous. The plan usually works around the family leaving, sometimes with a wildlife specialist encouraging the move. Our part is to keep the damper sealed, then clean and cap the chimney once it is empty. Raccoon droppings also need careful handling during cleanup, so the smoke shelf is cleared with protective gear.
Noises in the wall beside a prefab fireplace
With a factory-built fireplace, the chimney pipe and its chase run behind a wall or through a framed box on the outside of the house. An animal inside the chase can sound as if it is in the wall. We check the chase top, cover and cap for openings and look for signs of activity. If the animal is in the house framing instead, we say so. Noises near the ceiling of that wall may come from where the chase meets the attic, which we check as well.
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.
Nest material leaves with us
Nest material, droppings and debris from the flue, the smoke shelf and the firebox are bagged and hauled away when we finish, not left in your trash or on the lawn. Droppings are handled with care, since the CDC notes that disturbing bird and bat droppings can release the spores that cause histoplasmosis. The area around the fireplace is protected while we work, and we clean up before we leave.

Asked in University about chimney animal removal
What if birds are nesting in the chimney right now?
Leave the nest alone and keep the damper closed. If the birds are chimney swifts, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act protects the active nest, so the cleaning and the cap wait until the birds have left for the season. We can inspect and plan the work before then.
Do you need access to the roof?
Usually. Most of the assessment and all of the cap work happen at the chimney top, so we need safe roof access. We also look from the firebox and tell you if any part has to wait for a second visit.
