Birds, squirrels, raccoons and other wildlife may enter a chimney through an open or damaged top. Homeowners may hear chirping, scratching or movement near the fireplace. Stop using the fireplace until the chimney and flue have been checked.

Fort Worth Chimney Sweeps inspects the affected chimney to identify the type and location of the animal when accessible, check for nesting material or blockage, and determine the appropriate next step. Removal is performed only when it can be completed safely and legally.

Active bird nests containing eggs or young may be protected and cannot always be disturbed or removed immediately. In those situations, service may need to be postponed or coordinated with an appropriate wildlife authority or specialist.

After legally permitted removal, we can remove accessible nesting debris, evaluate the chimney opening and recommend a properly fitted chimney cap or related repair to help reduce future animal entry. Additional sweeping or chimney repair may be recommended when debris or damage is found.

Call Fort Worth Chimney Sweeps at 817-205-2072 to schedule a chimney inspection for bird, animal or nesting concerns in Fort Worth and surrounding service areas.

The cost to remove a dead animal, bird, squirrel, raccoon or nest from a chimney depends on its location, accessibility, nesting material and whether cleaning, repairs or a properly fitted chimney cap are needed. Fort Worth Chimney Sweeps first inspects the affected chimney and explains the recommended work and pricing before additional service begins. Removal is performed only when it can be completed safely and legally.

These examples show squirrels, a rat and raccoons inside different chimney flues. The animal’s location, nesting material and chimney construction help determine the appropriate removal and entry-prevention steps. 

What should I do if I hear an animal in my chimney?

Do not light a fire or open the fireplace damper. Keep people and pets away from the fireplace opening and contact our office so the chimney can be evaluated.

Can an active bird nest be removed immediately?

Not always. Some active nests may need to remain until the birds leave or removal is otherwise permitted. We evaluate the situation and explain the available next steps.

How can animals be kept from returning?

After removal, accessible chimney openings and entry points can be evaluated. A properly fitted chimney cap or related repair may be recommended when appropriate.

Can I use my fireplace after the animal is gone?

The chimney may still contain nesting material, debris or damage. It should be evaluated, and any recommended cleaning or repairs should be completed before use.
