Bats

In a sense, chimneys are like a cave. Therefore, chimneys tend to be a prime habitat for migrating bats. When bats make a home in your chimney, they generally are going to be somewhere higher which makes them more challenging to remove. They typically only need 3/8 of an inch to get into your home. Having a bat in your chimney can be a scary experience; give us a call to find out how we can remove your bat problems.

Birds

Sometimes birds find your chimney as the perfect place to build a nest. Unfortunately, birds bring many diseases along with them. Histoplasmosis is a disease that can be contracted by breathing fungal spores from the air. Waste from birds carry this disease, and as animals utilize your chimney, this disease can spread throughout your home. In addition to removing the birds, we will remove any blockage they created to protect you from house fires.

Raccoons

Raccoons love dry places to live, and without a chimney cap, they would love to make your chimney their home. Just as with squirrels, female raccoons attempt to use your chimney as their home. Raccoons are dangerous intruders since they carry rabies and can attack anyone who gets too close to their babies. After removing the raccoons, we will ensure that your chimney is in great condition and can install caps to prevent any animal visitors and save you money.

Millbrook Chimney Care after Animal Removal

One of the reasons animals take shelter within chimneys is because chimneys provide safety during turbulent weather. Consequently, these animals can bring debris into your chimney, damage the inside of your chimney, and even bring other creatures inside your chimney. Therefore, we will make sure that the chimney is thoroughly inspected so that you can use your fireplace without worries.

In addition to animal removal, we also install chimney caps. Lock top dampers are the most common for your chimney animal needs. They are inserted at the top of your chimney to prevent animals from entering your chimney. Additionally, we check the flue to make sure the animal did not cause a hole in it. As well, we also check to ensure the animal did not create a blockage that could increase the risk of a house fire. Furthermore, a lock top damper can save you money, prevent damage to your home, and protect your health. Call us today for more information!

Odors

Animals and their droppings can introduce unpleasant odors to the chimney and the home. Smells can be particularly bad if an animal or bird becomes trapped and dies within the chimney.

Blockages

Animals and their nests can obstruct chimneys. That prevents smoke from rising out of the chimney, which poses a major risk for chimney fires or carbon monoxide buildup within the home. At the very least, a blocked chimney will send smoke flowing back into your home when you light a fire.

Diseases

Animals and their droppings can introduce fleas and disease into your home. An animal infestation in your chimney can sicken your family.

Damage

Animals within a chimney can cause damage. They can scratch chimney liners and damage the damper within your chimney throat.

Noises

Animals and birds within a chimney can cause a lot of noise within your chimney. It can serve as a nuisance, especially at night when chimney-dwelling animals are more likely to be active.

Inconvenience

 An animal or bird in your chimney must be professionally removed. While you wait for your animal to be removed and your chimney to be inspected to ensure no damage was done, you won’t be able to use your chimney.

The Problems Animals Cause To Your Chimney

As temperatures drop, animals begin to look for warm, dry places to seek shelter. All too often, chimneys seem like the perfect, inviting atmosphere: They’re dry, warm, and uninterrupted, as long as the fireplace isn’t yet in use. For nocturnal animals, the chimney provides a nice, dark place to nap during the day.
