A clean-out that stays in the chimney
Clearing a flue after an animal is dusty, smelly work, and none of it should end up in the room. The firebox opening is sealed, the hearth and nearby floor are covered, and debris comes out with brushes and a sealed, filtered vacuum.
In your Ponte Vedra Beach living room that means you see the covers go down, the work happen behind them, and the covers come up with the area clean. If anything found during the clean-out changes the plan, such as a cracked tile under the nest, you hear about it before the covers come off. The flue is then brushed from top to bottom so no nest material stays lodged higher up. A free animal check in Ponte Vedra Beach starts with a call to (904) 920-5495 or the short form.
Ponte Vedra Beach is about 13 miles from Jacksonville in a straight line. Ponte Vedra Beach sits in St. Johns County.
What's Included
From identifying the animal to capping the flue

- Damper and smoke shelf checked after the clean-out
- Clean-out at your Ponte Vedra Beach home kept inside the chimney
- First-fire check for your Ponte Vedra Beach fireplace once it is clear
How It Works
Identify, wait if the law says so, clean out, close
-
Tell us what you hear
Chirping, scratching and the time of day help us guess what is up there. Keep the damper shut and do not light a fire.
-
Animal identified, rules checked
A look down from the top with a light confirms what it is. Swifts and bats have legal timing, and we explain it.
-
Flue emptied, nest cleaned out
Once the animal is out, nest material and droppings come out with the firebox sealed, using brushes and a sealed, filtered vacuum.
-
Screened cap closes the top
A cap with the right screen goes on each flue, and any other gap we find is written up with its repair.
Local Conditions
Rusted caps and open flues near the ocean in Ponte Vedra Beach
The ocean shore is part of Ponte Vedra Beach, and salt air rusts cap screens and chase covers early. A screen with a rusted hole is a door for birds and squirrels.
When we close a chimney in Ponte Vedra Beach, the new cap is stainless with a screen sized to the code, fastened so wind cannot lift it.

Who may remove a nuisance animal
Florida's rule on nuisance wildlife (68A-9.010) gives the owner of a property the right to deal with nuisance wildlife there, personally or through someone the owner picks, as long as the method is one the rule allows. Protected species and bats sit outside that general permission and carry their own limits.
The rule also controls what happens to an animal caught alive, including where it may be released. For Ponte Vedra Beach jobs that need trapping, the estimate names who is doing it, so you know who is acting on your authority and under which rule. The chimney clean-out and the cap follow once the flue is empty.
Keeping the clean-out inside the chimney
Everything that comes out of a flue after an animal comes down through the firebox, so containment starts there. The opening is sealed with a panel or plastic sheeting taped to the fireplace face, with the vacuum hose passing through it. The hearth and the floor in front are covered, and furniture nearby is moved or draped.
With the room sealed off, the flue is brushed from above or below, and the debris drops to where the vacuum collects it. The seal comes down last, after the firebox and smoke shelf are cleaned, so you get the room back as it was.
Capping a chimney with several flues
Two layouts can close the top of a chimney with more than one flue: a cap on each flue, or one larger cap covering the whole crown. Individual caps fit tightly to each tile and keep the flues separate. A multi-flue cap covers everything at once, including the gaps between tiles, but it has to be sized and fastened to the crown and leave each flue the open area it needs.
Any flue serving a furnace or water heater has its own requirements, set by that appliance's venting instructions, so it is capped with a part suited to it. Which layout fits your chimney, and why, is spelled out before any cap is bought.

FAQ
Animals in Ponte Vedra Beach chimneys, your questions
Can you come out the same day in Ponte Vedra Beach?
When the day's schedule has an opening, a same-day visit is available. If we cannot come the same day, keep the damper shut and the fireplace covered until we do.
Will the animal come back after it leaves?
It can, as long as the way in stays open. So the job ends with the entry closed, whether by a screened cap, a repaired crown or a fixed chase cover.
