A nest blocking the flue before a fire

Twigs and nesting material in the firebox, or a sudden refusal to draw, can mean a nest has blocked the flue. Lighting a fire under a blocked flue is dangerous, so nothing burns until it is open again.

If the nest belongs to a bird that is protected while nesting, the answer may be to wait, with the fireplace closed off. Otherwise, an emergency sweep clears the flue and a screened cap keeps it clear. Flue blocked at your home in Panama Park? Call (904) 920-5495 to find out what can be done.

Panama Park sits in Duval County. Panama Park does not reach the coast.

Falling limbs and chimneys in Panama Park

A limb that comes down in a storm can crack a chimney top or knock bricks loose anywhere trees stand near the house.

In Panama Park we work alongside the tree service so the chimney is secured as the weight comes off.

Protecting the room from chimney water

Water coming in at the chimney can run down inside the wall, drip from the ceiling or pool in the firebox. The first step inside is protecting what can be moved: furniture, rugs and anything electrical near the water.

A cold firebox can have its damper closed to slow water coming down the flue. Water in the walls or ceiling may need drying out, and ceiling damage may need a separate trade. We note what we see inside so the permanent repair and any interior work are planned together. Electrical outlets or fixtures that got wet are left off until an electrician says otherwise.

Storm season and chimney calls

NOAA's hurricane center counts the season as running June through November. Storms in that window can tear off caps and chase covers, push rain through weak points and bring down limbs onto chimneys.

The emergency work after a storm focuses on stopping water and securing what is loose. Rebuilding what the storm broke is a separate storm damage job, priced after the skies clear. Keeping those two apart means the night visit stays focused on safety. Keeping the two apart also means the night visit is short, focused and safe for the crew. The later storm repair then gets the daylight, dry weather and careful measuring it needs.

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.

Emergency questions from Panama Park

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.
