What’s Stuck in the Chimney?
Dangers of wildlife in your chimney
Well, if “uh-oh…” was your first response, you’re on the right track. It’s not hard to imagine the dangers to your family’s health and home that are associated with wildlife nesting in your chimney. The first and most obvious fact is that a blocked chimney is a non-functioning chimney. Next, as unsavory as the thought of your chimney interior being turned into a creature crib may be, it’s nothing compared to the possibility of them finding their way into the interior of your home. Trust us, it happens! After that, it’s important to consider the various types of illness and disease that are carried by different species of birds, animals, and reptiles, as well as that generated by the presence of their waste. Additionally, those using their chimney lair as a nursery may attract larger, more dangerous predators to steal eggs or newborn offspring.
DIY dangerous
Probably the largest danger involved with wildlife nesting in your chimney is the risk involved with d-i-y extraction. An experienced chimney sweep professional knows the right techniques to safely remove each species from your chimney, and ensure that they do not come back. They also know how to do all remediation necessary to remove the risk of contamination, as well as any necessary repairs.

NORMAN
We have a 100-year-old chimney that was in need of some serious TLC... mortar needing replaced, bricks needing cleaned, fireplace inspected and some training for us so that we could use with confidence. ChimneyQuest took care of everything beautifully and efficiently, keeping a clean worksite, being considerate of minimizing impact on nearby neighbors, and it was stress-free for us.
CLAY
Had John out to clean our chimney and install new concrete crown. Great work!! Quick and professional. John is very personable and I feel like he really shoots you straight on what is working well, what might be a problem in the future, and what could be an immediate problem. Thanks you for your wonderful service.
