Birds, squirrels, and raccoons love an uncapped chimney, but their nests are a fire and draft hazard. Green Home Services removes animals and nests humanely across San Antonio and Austin, then caps your chimney to keep them out for good.
Scratching sounds, odors, or reduced draft often mean an animal has moved into your chimney. We remove wildlife and nesting material safely and humanely, clean the affected area, and, most importantly, install a properly fitted chimney cap to prevent future entry. Since nesting debris is highly flammable and can block the flue, prompt removal protects both your home and the animals.
An open chimney is an inviting shelter for birds, squirrels, raccoons, and bats, but their presence creates real problems. Nesting materials, twigs, leaves, and debris, are extremely flammable and can ignite during a fire, and they often block the flue, trapping smoke and dangerous carbon monoxide inside the home. Animals can also become trapped, creating odors and health concerns, and some species, like chimney swifts, are legally protected and must be handled correctly. Professional removal clears the animals and nesting material safely and humanely, restores a clear flue, and, by installing a properly fitted cap, prevents the problem from recurring. Addressing it promptly protects your home’s safety and the wildlife alike.
