Have an animal in chimney trouble — a bird, squirrel, or raccoon? We handle removal and seal the top so it stops for good.

Which fix fits your situation?

If something is trapped right now, we do same-day removal where dispatch is open.

If they keep getting in, you need a proper cap or stainless guard, not another DIY screen; the trade-off is a one-time fix versus repeat visits.

If you are not sure what is up there, text a photo of the chimney top and we will tell you.

Not sure? Text a photo and a tech will point you the right way before any truck rolls.

What we handle

Humane removal matters when you hear scratching or flapping; a stainless top guard matters when an open flue keeps letting animals back in.

What homeowners say

“The tech called before he came, showed me photos of the cracked crown right on his phone, and gave me the price on the spot. No pressure, no upsell. Honestly refreshing.”
— Dana M., New Haven, CT
“Our cap blew off in a storm and they were out the next morning. Clean, on time, and a good bit cheaper than the first quote I got. They left zero mess.”
— Robert P., Minneapolis, MN
“I'd been putting the chimney off for two winters. One free inspection and I finally knew what I was actually dealing with. Booked it before they left.”
— Allie T., Richmond, VA

How it works

STEP 1Call or text a photo. Tell us what you are seeing and your zip.
STEP 2A licensed tech comes out free and calls 30-60 min ahead.
