Animal Removal service

An uncapped or damaged chimney is an easy entry point for birds, squirrels, and raccoons looking for shelter. Beyond the noise and mess, nesting material is a real fire hazard and can block airflow entirely.

We remove trapped or nesting animals safely, then address the entry point — usually a missing or damaged cap — so it doesn't happen again.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to light a fire if there's an animal in the chimney?

No — don't light a fire until the animal has been safely removed. Trapped animals and blocked flues both create serious safety risks.

How do I stop animals from getting in again?

A properly fitted chimney cap with spark arrestor mesh is the most effective way to keep animals out long-term — we can install or repair one during the same visit.
