A chimney is a critical part of your home\u2019s safety to vent out harmful smoke byproducts of a fire. Because it needs to have an open end, it creates a unique problem \u2013 animal invaders looking for refuge often find it by hiding inside the chimney. It\u2019s common to find animals in chimneys, nesting or stuck inside the masonry.<\/p>\n

To an animal, your chimney resembles a hollow tree, perfect for nest building.\u00a0 Unfortunately, this is far from ideal for both you and the animal!\u00a0 Thankfully Doctor Flue offers a solution:\u00a0 Chimney Caps<\/a>.\u00a0 Read on to learn more about critters invading your chimney, and how to prevent it.<\/p>\n

Raccoons & Chimneys<\/h2>\n

Raccoons are adept at climbing up and down chimneys, unlike most critters.\u00a0 Raccoons often nest, or den, inside chimneys to raise offspring.\u00a0 Raccoons’ birthing season lasts from late March through June and, sometimes, into August.\u00a0 If you have a raccoon den in your chimney, you will most likely hear noises at intervals throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Never attempt to smoke out the raccoons!<\/strong>\u00a0 Do not start a fire in your fireplace in an attempt to ‘smoke out’ the raccoons.\u00a0 This is a common mistake of many homeowners, and often results in compound issues.\u00a0 If a fire is started in the chimney, it may result in the death of one or more raccoons, often the babies.\u00a0This creates a scenario where you are forced to deal with a dead animal.<\/p>\n

You should also never seal them out.\u00a0<\/strong> Do not seal off your chimney once the large mother raccoon leaves.\u00a0 Again, this will result in the death of the babies.\u00a0 Live raccoons are easier to locate and remove than dead ones.<\/p>\n

Raccoons are weaned from their mother at about six weeks of age, and will likely move from your chimney on their own.\u00a0 But if you are eager to remove the raccoon family, please call a professional.\u00a0 Do not attempt to do this on your own.\u00a0 Raccoons, especially mother raccoons, can be vicious and are likely to cause injury if threatened.<\/p>\n

Rats in Chimneys<\/h2>\n

Another common animal in chimney scenario we see all the time involve rats. While you may think of rats as animals that scurry low to the ground, they\u2019re surprisingly agile at maneuvering over rooftops as well! If they\u2019re looking for shelter, rats can easily find their way into your chimney through the top.<\/p>\n

Like raccoons, it\u2019s never a good idea to try and smoke out or seal off the rat. Because of their nature, rats often carry diseases or pathogens that can transmit to you quickly if you have to deal with a deceased rat due to smoke inhalation, starvation or other issues from you trying to handle the problem yourself.<\/p>\n

Birds & Squirrels in Chimneys<\/h2>\n

Unlike raccoons, which easily climb in and out, birds and squirrels often are stuck inside chimneys.\u00a0 You are likely to hear noises of distress coming from your chimney if a squirrel or bird is trapped.\u00a0 These animals are likely looking for shelter, but cannot scale a chimney wall like a raccoon. Once they find their way inside, they won’t be able to fly away.<\/p>\n

Again, never<\/strong> smoke out squirrels or birds. It won’t encourage them to leave, as they simply can’t get out. Instead, call a professional to help.\u00a0 It is much easier to remove a live animal than one that is dead!<\/p>\n

Chimney Caps Prevent Animals in Chimneys<\/h2>\n

A chimney cap, or chase cover, is a metal cover over the top of a chimney chase.\u00a0These go over the top of your chimney and provide you with a lot of benefits! First and foremost, a chimney cap will definitely keep critters out of your chimney. The metal housing is designed to allow smoke to evacuate the flue freely, but stops animals from getting in.<\/p>\n

But chimney caps offer more than just that, chimney caps also:<\/p>\n

Protect Against Moisture \u2013<\/strong> Water in your chimney isn\u2019t just an annoyance, it\u2019s a potential hazard to the brick and mortar. Whether mold growth or direct weathering, brick that becomes damaged from moisture can expose your home to risks like fires due to heat escaping into spaces before it reaches the top of the flue.<\/p>\n

Reduce Airflow Issues \u2013<\/strong> Windy days that cause drafts can chill your home or leave your fireplace non-functional. Proper airflow is important for making the most of a fire, and a chimney cap helps stop air from building a draft down into the flue instead of going up and out of one.<\/p>\n

Fight Back Against Debris \u2013<\/strong> Windy days or tall trees around your home can also bring all types of debris such as twigs, leaves or even trash into your chimney! Not only can these be a hazard from directly increasing the heat on the masonry when you use your fireplace, it could even clog the flue and force smoke back into your home!<\/p>\n

Most commonly, a chimney cap is constructed of galvanized metal, and can last from five to fifteen years. If your home doesn\u2019t have an existing chimney cap, it\u2019s important to look into getting one right away. For homes that already have them, they should be inspected as part of your regular chimney inspections. Over time, they can be damaged from weather or other issues \u2013 leaving your chimney exposed to critters of all types!<\/p>\n
