A damper left open

Did an animal come down the chimney right into the room? An open damper is the last thing standing between the flue and your living space, and one left open gives anything in the flue a way in.

After animal removal, the damper and cap need checking for damage and suitability. A top-sealing damper may be an option for a compatible wood-burning fireplace, but it must not close a vent that needs to stay permanently open. Our pros explain suitable repairs and their prices. Arrange a damper check in Newberry at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Woods and fields near the house

Woods or open land next to your home in Newberry? Animals looking for a sheltered spot can find an uncapped flue quickly. Our pros clear the chimney within the rules and fit a screened cap on every flue, so the chimney stops looking like a hollow tree. Every other opening is closed as well. The cap is priced per flue.

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.

Sweeping once the flue is empty

After animals leave, the flue is coated with more than soot: droppings, feathers, fur and bits of nest cling to the walls and pile on the smoke shelf.

A brush sized to the flue goes from top to bottom, then the smoke chamber is scraped and the shelf cleared, with the room sealed and a vacuum running. The damper is cleaned so it seals again.

The sweep also shows whether the animals damaged the liner or the tile, which is hard to see through nesting debris. Anything found is priced before any repair begins. The damper is left sealing.

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

Asked about animals in chimneys in Newberry

Will a cap keep animals out?

A screened cap on every flue, with mesh inside the building code's size window, is the main defense. Our pros also close other openings, like a rusted chase cover or a clean-out door that won't shut.

Is animal removal covered by a warranty?

The caps and repairs that close the chimney fall under our workmanship warranty. If an animal gets back in through something we sealed, we'll return. Reserve your free inspection in Newberry at (352) 675-6366.
