Chimney Animal Removal

Boston Chimney Services for Animal Removal

Animal removal from a chimney is a year-round issue for home and business owners in the Boston area. However, instances where we need to remove an animal from a chimney spikes exponentially when the warmer months roll around. If you believe there is an animal in your chimney, you should call an expert right away if you are unable to remove it (safely) yourself. If you are in fact hearing noises in your chimney, it could be one of those scenarios. A wild animal, such as a raccoon, may be using your chimney as a home for its babies. Or perhaps a squirrel or bird has fallen down the chimney and cannot get back up. Whatever the situation, our animal removal services for your chimney will effectively remove whatever is in your chimney.

Never try to smoke the animal out of your chimney. It is not only hazardous to the animal, but it could become hazardous to yourself, too. And in some scenarios it can be viewed as a criminal act. Wild animals tend to mistake uncapped chimneys for hollow trees and other nesting areas. For the most part, they have no idea that the chimney they are entering is part of a person's home. Please reach out to us if you live in the greater Boston area if you are in need of our chimney services for removing an animal. We take the utmost pride in safely handling these situations.

How do you tell whether the animal is stuck or making a home in your chimney?

The easiest way to tell the difference between an animal who has used your chimney as a home, such as a raccoon and an animal that is stuck, such as a bird or squirrel, is by listening to the noise that the animal makes. An animal that is stuck is often frantic and will scratch at the damper or flap its wings repeatedly in an effort to get out. If the damper is not closed, the animal may fall down into the fireplace and even if he is able to get back up above the damper or onto the smoke shelf, it is important to recognize that this animal is unable to climb the entire length of the chimney.

If you believe the animal has made a home in your chimney, you may occasionally hear movement, as well as the sounds of babies calling out to their parent. These noises will follow a more predictable pattern and usually occur at specific parts of the day.
