Repairs & Exclusions: Chimney Caps
Stop Wildlife Problems Where They Start
Still hearing things after removal? Don’t skip the final step.
Getting animals out is important, but keeping them out is what prevents the problem from happening again. Once wildlife has been removed, the next step is to seal off access points, repair damage, and restore safety to the space.
Exclusion and repair services are what make the removal process complete. We inspect the affected areas, identify vulnerabilities, and reinforce your property with durable materials designed to stop future intrusions. This includes custom vent guards, flashing, foundation mesh, and full shed and deck exclusions when needed.
We also handle cleanup and sanitation to remove messes left behind, and we offer guidance on environmental changes that reduce activity near your home. If wildlife or pest issues keep coming back, we’ll help you get ahead of them with long-term solutions that are built to last.
Every exclusion job is built to last and backed by a 14-month warranty for added confidence.
Keep Wildlife Out and Airflow Moving Safely
Professionally Installed Chimney Caps That Work for Your Home
An open chimney may seem harmless until birds, bats, or squirrels find their way in. Nesting animals not only block airflow but also cause damage, carry parasites, and create fire hazards with debris and waste.
Our chimney cap installation service adds a protective cover that still allows proper ventilation. We’ll make sure the size and design are right for your chimney type and that it fits securely to prevent tampering or weather-related damage. If you’ve already had animals inside, we’ll inspect for contamination, recommend cleanup if needed, and advise on next steps to protect your home.
How to Know That You Need a Chimney Cap
Signs of Animal Activity in or Around Your Chimney
If you hear chirping, scratching, or fluttering from inside your chimney, there’s a good chance something has moved in. You might also notice debris falling into the fireplace, nesting materials near the chimney opening, or a persistent odor coming from inside.
Birds like chimney swifts are especially common, as they rely on vertical, enclosed spaces to nest. Bats can also enter through uncapped chimneys, along with squirrels seeking warmth or shelter. We assess signs of animal activity, look for damage to the flue or damper, and confirm whether a cap is missing or ineffective.
