How our pros handle chimney animals in Wadeview Park
If a bat may have touched someone
The CDC advises contacting a doctor or the local health department after any possible contact with a bat, including waking to find a bat in the room. Do not try to catch or handle it with bare hands. Once that question is settled, we look for the route the bat used, which is often an uncapped flue or a gap at the cap, and plan an exclusion that follows Florida's timing rules. Keep the bat contained in one room if you can, without touching it, in case it needs to be tested.
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.
Temporary measures while the plan is set
While removal waits on timing or a specialist, a few temporary steps keep the animal out of the house. Keep the damper closed and the fireplace doors shut, or tape cardboard over an open fireplace. Do not block the top of the chimney yourself. Temporary measures come off once the work is done, and the fireplace stays unused until the flue is cleared. Tell us what you put in place so we know what to remove when we arrive.
When the work runs into a second day
Some animal jobs cannot finish in one visit, for example when the cap has to be ordered or a protected nest sets the timing. When a chimney is left open at the end of a work day, our crew covers it before leaving so rain and animals stay out overnight. The damper stays closed, the fireplace stays off, and we tell you when we plan to be back. Nest material we have already removed leaves with us that day.

Before you call about an animal in Wadeview Park
Something has moved into our Wadeview Park chimney. What do you do about it?
We assess what is in your Wadeview Park chimney, explain the rules that apply to that animal and coordinate a wildlife specialist when one is needed. Once the chimney is empty, we clean it and close the opening with a screened cap.
Will a cap stop animals from coming back?
A screened cap that fits the flue closes the flue opening itself. We also look for gaps at the crown, the chase cover and the roofline, and if we find another way in, we explain it and price it separately.
