Buying a home with an uncapped chimney

Buying a house whose chimney has no cap? It may already have visitors, or old nests packed in the flue. A home inspection may not look that far.

Before you close, have the flue checked for nesting material, droppings and damage; you'll hear what it takes to clear and cap it, with prices on the quote, ready for your negotiation. If something is living there, our pros explain the timing the law allows. If something is living there now, the plan waits for the right window and you get the dates noted on the quote. Reserve a chimney check before you buy in Williston at (352) 675-6366.

Williston recorded a population of 2,976 in the 2020 Census. Williston is an inland service location, separate from the sea coast.

Local Conditions

Trees that give animals a bridge

If tree limbs reach the roof of your home in 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.

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.

The damper as the last barrier

Between the flue and your living room sits the damper. Closed and sealing, it keeps whatever is in the chimney out of the house. Left open, or rusted so it won't close, it gives animals a way down into the firebox.

The damper's accessible parts are considered during the animal-removal assessment. If cleaning or repair is recommended, the proposed work and its price are explained before it begins. Closing an occupied flue or an appliance's required vent is not a substitute for resolving the wildlife problem.

A top-sealing damper can help protect an idle flue when the fireplace and fuel permit that arrangement. Some gas appliances require a permanently open vent, so a sealing lid is not a universal alternative to a cap. The assessment establishes compatibility before this separately priced option is offered.

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.

Top-sealing dampers against animals

A top damper uses a lid and control cable to close the flue between uses on a compatible fireplace. It needs to open fully and remain open while fire or embers are present. Our pros check the appliance, fuel and venting requirements before recommending a closable system.

Paired with a screened cap, it's one of the strongest barriers a chimney can have. It also replaces a throat damper that has rusted or warped.

It's sized to the flue, and you'll be shown how to open it before every fire. It's priced alongside a standard cap so you can compare the two options. It must be fully open whenever there's a fire.

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 Williston at (352) 675-6366.
