Local Conditions

Metal chimneys and chase gaps

Factory-built fireplaces in Archer vent through a chase, and animals get in through gaps at the chase cover's edges or a missing pipe cap. Our pros close those gaps with the maker's listed cap and a sound chase cover, after confirming the chase is empty. Insulation soiled by nesting is replaced to the chimney's listing. Each part is priced. The chase is confirmed empty before anything is sealed.

Our Process

The four things our pros do

Find out what's there

Our pros inspect from the top and the firebox and check for protected birds and bats.
Time it to the rules

Work waits out any protected season, and exclusion is used where the rules allow it.
Clear and clean

Nests, droppings and debris come out safely, and the flue is swept once it's empty.
Cap and close the gaps

Every flue is capped and every other opening closed, so nothing moves back in.

When swifts come and go

Swifts spend only part of the year here. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service puts their arrival in the Southeast near the end of March, with the flight south coming around mid-October.

That gives a clear window for dealing with a swift chimney: after they've left and before they return. Our pros schedule the cleanout, sweep and cap for that window.

If you'd like to keep future swifts out, capping after they leave is the lawful way. Some homeowners choose to leave a chimney open for them, and that's your call to make. The plan fits whichever you choose. Either way, the flue is cleaned first.

Droppings, cleaned up with care

Bird and bat droppings can carry the spores of the fungus that causes histoplasmosis, and the CDC describes infection through breathing in those spores. Dry sweeping or vacuuming droppings with an ordinary vacuum can stir them into the air.

Our specialists clean up droppings with protective gear, dampen them to keep dust down where appropriate, bag the waste and wipe down the damper, smoke shelf and firebox.

They'll ask you to stay out of the room while it's done. Once the area is clean, the flue can be swept and the chimney capped. The area is left clean and dry.

Capping before the next season

The best time to keep animals out is before they arrive. For chimney swifts, that means capping after they've gone in the fall and before they come back in late March. For bats, it means sealing outside the maternity window.

Caps get scheduled around those dates, and if you're waiting on a window, we'll remind you when it opens.

A capped chimney with a sealing damper and a closed clean-out door leaves no easy way in, whatever the season. The cap and any repairs are priced before the work, so you can plan the spend around the season too.

FAQs

Before you try to clear the chimney

Should I light a fire to drive them out?

No. A fire can kill protected birds or young bats, which is unlawful, and dry nesting material can catch fire. Our specialists use methods the rules allow.

What should I do if a bat gets in the house?

Keep people and pets away from it and don't handle it. If anyone may have touched it, the CDC advises getting medical advice. Our pros can find and close the way it came in.
