After a storm has passed

Once the wind has dropped, a look from the ground can tell you a lot without climbing anything. Scan the chimney top for a cap that is crooked or gone, the shingles around it for fallen brick or stray metal, and the firebox floor for anything that dropped down the flue.

Tell us what you spot, since it shapes what we load on the truck. Stay off the roof until it has been checked. Spotted damage on your chimney after a storm in Brentwood? Call (904) 920-5495, and our crew will plan the visit with you.

Brentwood falls within Duval County. Brentwood is an inland community.

Animals in chimneys in Brentwood

Animals come down flues wherever a cap is missing, and a trapped one needs help quickly.

In Brentwood we identify it first, then remove it and cap the flue.

Finding out what is in the flue

Before any animal is removed from a chimney, we find out what it is. Chimney swifts are one example: the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act covers them, and while they nest, disturbing the birds, eggs or nest needs a federal permit.

In that case, the right answer may be to wait, with the fireplace sealed off from the room. Other animals are removed carefully and humanely. Either way, nothing is smoked out or poisoned, and the removal plan is explained before it starts. Bats are treated with the same care, since state rules limit when they can be excluded from a roost.

A blocked flue that an appliance needs

When a furnace or water heater vents through the chimney, a blocked flue is urgent. A nest, a pile of fallen debris or a broken tile can stop the exhaust from leaving the house.

An alarm for carbon monoxide means evacuate first and ring 911 once outside. If not, stop using the appliance until the flue has been cleared and checked. Clearing it is an emergency sweep, and the cause of the blockage, such as a missing cap or a failing tile, is written up for repair. A cap with a screen is priced when a nest or debris was the cause, so the flue stays open afterward.

A chimney that has moved

Once a chimney has shifted, leaning out or opening a gap at the wall, it is a falling hazard. The area it would fall toward is kept clear of people and vehicles until it has been assessed.

When it is safe to approach, we check how far it has moved, take down loose material from the top and cover any opening. Whether the chimney can be braced and repaired or has to be taken down and rebuilt is decided in daylight, with the reasons written down. Temporary bracing is used only where it can be fixed safely without adding load to damaged masonry.

Before the crew arrives

Should I call you or 911 first?

Smoke indoors, a carbon monoxide alarm or flames in the chimney: evacuate and dial 911 before anyone else. Water, storm damage and trapped animals come straight to our line.

What if a bird is nesting in the chimney?

We identify it first. Some birds are protected while nesting, and then the answer may be to wait with the fireplace closed off rather than remove the nest.
