Professional Chimney Animal Removal by Chimney Experts

Chimneys are important when it comes to keeping harmful smoke and fumes out of your home. Unfortunately, they’re also an ideal place for some animals who seek warmth during the cold winter months.

It’s common for many homeowners to find a wild animal like a bird, raccoon, rodent, bat, or squirrel nesting in attics, but some of these animals also find an entry in open chimneys. If you suspect live animals building a nest in your chimney, it’s important to avoid lighting a chimney fire. Call wildlife control specialists or chimney experts instead.

At Chimney Genie, we strive to be as transparent with our procedures and services as much as possible. Our clients are encouraged to ask us about things like how to maintain your chimney, when to call us for chimney wildlife removal, and what we can do to repair chimney damages.

Why You Need a Professional Chimney Company for Animal Removal Service

Bats, squirrels, raccoons, and other wild animals often mistake your chimney for a big, hollow tree where they can safely raise their young. Some animals can be scared off into leaving the chimney. But in most cases, you’ll need the help of a chimney sweep to get rid of animals – whether because they’re stuck or they simply won’t budge out of their new nest.

  • They have years of training and experience to coax the animal out safely and efficiently without putting you and your family at risk.

  • If the chimney company has a hard time getting the critter out, they can easily contact a local animal control center and work together to eliminate the animal.

  • Removing the wild animal by yourself puts you at risk of different health hazards like rabies. The feces and other debris they leave also contain parasites and bacteria that can make you sick.

  • Certified chimney sweepers have all the tools needed for chimney repairs caused by the animal entry.

  • Chimney companies also offer complete chimney cleaning services after removing the wild animal. This includes cleaning the chimney flue, damper, and fireplace doors so they’re free of unpleasant odors and bacteria.

What Happens During Our Animal Removal Service for Your Chimney

  • Step 1: During chimney inspections, our chimney sweeper uses a video inspection system to check the state of your fireplace or chimney. This allows us to identify the animal causing the chimney blockage or look for the carcass of a dead animal that prevents your chimney or dryer vent from functioning properly.
  • Step 2: After finding the animal problem, we’ll come up with a plan to remove them. We always make sure to let our clients know about the process, so don’t hesitate to ask us anything. In some cases, we might need to call and work with local animal control for humane animal removal services.
  • Step 3: We prepare to remove the animal and their nesting material from your chimney using the specialized tools we brought with us. The time needed to complete this task depends on the living or dead animal nesting in your chimney.
  • Step 4: After extracting the live or dead animal, we inspect the chimney system for chimney damage that the animal infestation might have caused and do the needed repairs. We offer blockage removal and repair on different types of chimneys, such as brick and mortar chimneys or wood stove chimneys.

FAQs About Chimney Cleaning and Animal Removal 

Q: Will chimney cap installation keep animals out?

A: Yes, installing chimney caps is the best way to prevent birds from nesting or raccoons from crawling into the chimney since they block the top opening of the chimney.

Q: What should I do about chimney swifts?

A: A chimney swift is a migratory bird from South America that often uses chimneys to create nests. These birds are federally protected, so it’s crucial to call a chimney company or wildlife control expert to safely get rid of them while still following the laws and considerations involved.

Q: Do you offer humane animal removal services?

A: Yes, we do our best to rescue live animals trapped or nesting inside chimneys. We perform proper extraction services and thorough cleanup so you can use your fireplace again without worrying about trapped animals.
