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 Lawtey by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Our Lawtey coverage is inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. From the Gainesville reference point, Lawtey is about 31 miles away in a direct line.

Local Conditions

Metal chimneys and chase gaps

Factory-built fireplaces in Lawtey 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

Found, timed, cleared and capped

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 something makes it past the damper

If an animal makes it past the damper into the fireplace or the room, close the fireplace doors or screen if you can, keep children and pets away, and don't try to handle it.

Bats need extra care. The CDC advises seeking medical advice after possible contact with a bat, since a bite can be too small to notice.

Only methods Florida's rules allow are used, your quote names who handles the animal, and then our pros find and close the way it got in, so the next one can't follow. They'll also check the damper, since an animal in the room points to a damper that was open or failed.

Pulling out old nesting material

Nests and the twigs, leaves and fibers around them can fill a flue or pile up on the smoke shelf. Left in place, they block the draft and sit as dry fuel where sparks rise.

Once nothing is living there and any protected season is over, our pros remove the material from above and below, using tools that reach up the flue and hand work on the smoke shelf.

The debris is bagged and carried out, and the flue is swept afterward. You'll hear how much came out and whether the flue behind it is sound. Nothing is left to smolder.

The clean-out door at the base

Many masonry chimneys have a small metal door near the ground or in a crawl space, opening into the ash pit or the base of the flue. When it rusts open, loses its latch or goes missing, animals can climb in from below.

On every animal call the clean-out gets opened, any nesting material or debris behind it is emptied, and a door that won't close is replaced with one sized to the opening.

It's a small repair that's easy to overlook, and it closes a route that a cap on top can't. The new door latches shut and seals against the opening.

FAQs

Asked about animals in chimneys in Lawtey

Can you get an animal out of my chimney in Lawtey?

Yes, and doing it lawfully comes first. Lawtey is part of our Bradford County coverage, and a free first look tells our pros what's up there and what the rules allow. Leave the damper closed in the meantime.

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.
