An animal in the firebox

Opened the fireplace and found something looking back at you? Close the fireplace doors or screen, keep children and pets out of the room, and don't try to handle it. If a bat has made it into the living space and anyone may have touched it, the CDC advises getting medical advice.

Our pros come out, deal with the animal using methods Florida's rules allow, and then find out how it got in, from an open flue to a damper left open. The entry is closed so it doesn't happen again. Reach a local pro about the animal in your fireplace in East Williston by dialing (352) 675-6366.

About 21 miles, measured point to point, lie between East Williston and the Gainesville reference point. Our specialists serve East Williston as part of Levy County.

Local Conditions

Trees that give animals a bridge

If tree limbs reach the roof of your home in East Williston, they give climbing animals an easy path to the chimney top. Our specialists point out limbs that make a bridge to the roof and suggest trimming them back, alongside the cap that closes the flue. Trimming is a job for a tree service. The quote says so, and names the limbs.

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.

Dealing with a smell from the flue

A strong smell from the chimney can mean an animal became trapped and died somewhere above the damper. Heat and damp make the smell worse, and it can drift into the house through the damper.

Our specialists locate the source, remove it, clean the area and the smoke shelf, and treat it to cut the odor. The flue is swept once the source is gone.

Then they find out how the animal got in and close it off. The fireplace stays out of use until the cleanup is done, and the steps are written on your quote. A sealing damper keeps any remaining smell out.

Every flue gets its own cover

A chimney with more than one flue has more than one way in. A cap on the fireplace flue does nothing to stop an animal going down a furnace or water heater flue beside it.

Every flue in the chimney gets covered, either with separate caps sized to each or with one outside-mount cap over the whole crown. Appliance flues get caps made for them, which don't restrict the exhaust.

Every flue is confirmed empty before its cap goes on, so nothing is sealed inside. The caps are priced flue by flue. Nothing living is sealed in.

FAQs

Ask us about animals in the chimney

What about the droppings?

Bird and bat droppings can carry spores that cause histoplasmosis. Our pros clean them up with protective gear and dust control, so please don't sweep them up dry yourself.

Do you sweep the chimney afterward?

Yes, once the flue is empty. The sweep clears droppings, nest debris and soot, and it shows whether the animals damaged the liner.
