Help for Chimney Blockages in Arlington
We understand how stressful it can be when you have wildlife in the chimney of your home. The noise can be annoying, but it can also lead to more serious problems, including compromised airflow, risk of fire, and exposure to disease. We’ll assess the situation, safely and humanely remove the animal, and inspect your chimney to ensure it’s clean and secure.
Chimneys are warm and sheltered, which is perfect for small animals that are seeking a cozy place to nest. Along with squirrels, birds, and raccoons, occasionally, even bats can squeeze in. Once inside, they may build nests, leave behind waste, or even get trapped and die, leading to serious airflow issues and foul odors that you don’t want to deal with. Our Arlington animal removal chimney service will not only remove the animals in a humane way, but clean the space and help prevent more invaders from entering.
On the other hand, when wildlife causes a chimney blockage in Arlington, you might not even notice it until the damage is done. You might not even suspect a problem until you light a fire and then notice that the smoke doesn’t vent properly. That’s why acting fast makes a huge difference.
There are several signs you need an Arlington expert for animal removal from your chimney:
- Scratching or scurrying sounds
- Smoke backing up into your home when using the fireplace
- Unusual smells or foul odors near your fireplace
- Nesting materials or animal droppings inside the chimney
- Visible damage to your chimney cap or screen
Even if you don’t use your fireplace often, wildlife can still block airflow, trap moisture, or invite insects into your home. Regular inspections and prompt removal services are key to avoiding long-term issues.
