Animal Removal

One of the most common causes of chimney blockages and fires are animal nests. Chimneys offer an extremely attractive home for birds, raccoons and squirrels because of their warmth and protection. Of course a quality chimney cap can prevent such problems, however if animals have already created a 3 bedroom apartment in your chimney, they will need to be removed.

While birds can grow up an leave the nest, that nest that they leave behind can cause major issues. Animal nests can block chimney gases from escaping and are highly flammable. Tough birds may escape, many four legged animals can not. Animals like raccoons and squirrels sometimes get stuck in your chimney and die inside, causing disgusting odors and sometimes even bug infestation.

Dunrite Chimney and Stove specializes in nest and animal removal and can also provide you with a high quality stainless steel chimney cap to prevent these problems from happening again in the future.
