A screened cap keeps them out

Want to stop animals getting in again? An open flue looks like a hollow tree to plenty of creatures. A cap with a sound screen on every side closes it off while letting smoke out.

Each flue gets a cap sized to it, with mesh inside the building code's size window, fastened so it can't be pushed or pried loose. On chimneys with several flues, every flue gets covered. The cap goes on only after the flue is confirmed empty, so nothing gets trapped inside. Reserve a screened cap after your cleanout in Hampton by phoning (352) 675-6366.

The Gainesville reference point is roughly 18 miles from Hampton as the crow flies. In our service area, Hampton is grouped with Bradford County.

Local Conditions

Clean-out doors at ground level

A clean-out door at the base of a chimney in Hampton that's rusted open or missing lets animals climb in from below, around any cap on top. Our pros check the door on every animal call and replace it with one that closes and latches. A door that latches also keeps drafts out. It's priced with the rest of the work.

Why exclusion comes first

The state's nuisance wildlife rule allows property owners, and people they authorize, to take nuisance wildlife by permitted methods, and it restricts releasing animals that have been caught alive.

That's one reason our pros lean on exclusion: it gets animals out of the chimney without catching and moving them, and then the chimney is sealed so they can't return.

When an animal is trapped in the flue or the firebox and can't leave on its own, they'll deal with it using methods the rules allow and tell you exactly what was done. The method is recorded on your quote. Nothing is released anywhere the rules don't allow.

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.

Checking for damage after removal

Animals in a chimney can do damage. They tear at flexible liners, pull loose mortar at the flue top, bend damper plates, chew insulation in a chase and rip cap screens trying to get in.

Once the chimney is clear and swept, our specialists inspect it from top to bottom and tell you what, if anything, needs repair.

Every repair gets a written price, and the timing is yours. Small repairs, like a torn cap screen, can be handled on the same visit as the new cap. Nothing is hidden under a new cap. The inspection notes go on your quote.

FAQs

Ask us about animals in the chimney

When can bats be excluded in Florida?

Florida's rule normally permits bat exclusion from August 15 through April 15 and restricts it from April 16 through August 14, the maternity season. Our pros plan any bat work for the allowed window.

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.
