Animal Prevention – Having animals in your chimney can pose serious risks to both your home and your family’s safety. While we all love animals, it’s crucial to keep them out of our chimneys and fireplaces. At Midwest Chimney, we understand the importance of preventing critters from entering your chimney and causing potential hazards.

When animals, such as birds, squirrels, or raccoons, make their way into your chimney, they often start nesting. This nesting behavior can lead to the accumulation of highly flammable materials, such as twigs, leaves, and debris, within your chimney flue. Not only does this create a fire hazard, but it can also obstruct proper airflow, resulting in inefficient ventilation and draft issues.

Furthermore, when animals abandon their nests, they leave behind remnants that can further block the chimney and exacerbate the risk of chimney fires. Additionally, a blocked chimney flue can allow dangerous gases like carbon monoxide to backflow into your home, posing a serious health hazard to you and your loved ones.

At Midwest Chimney, we offer comprehensive animal prevention services to safeguard your chimney and home from these potential dangers. Our experienced team can assess your chimney, identify any existing animal nests or entry points, and take the necessary steps to prevent future animal intrusion.

From installing chimney caps and screens to sealing off entry points, we employ effective strategies to keep critters out of your chimney for good.
