Problems Animals Cause in Chimneys

Chimney Repair Service Vancouver, Chimney rescontruction services, Chimney removal, chimney pest screen services

Fire Hazards

Nesting materials are highly flammable. A single spark can ignite a nest, causing a dangerous chimney fire that spreads to your home.

Blocked Flues

Nests block smoke and dangerous gases from escaping. Using your fireplace with a blocked flue can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Chimney Masonry Services

Structural Damage

Animals damage flue liners, tear apart mortar, and leave corrosive droppings that deteriorate masonry.

Scratching, chirping, and movement sounds are disturbing, especially at night when animals are most active.

Expensive Repairs

Removing established nests, cleaning contaminated flues, and repairing damage costs far more than prevention.

Screen Mesh Sizing: What Works Best

3/4" Mesh

Keeps out larger animals like raccoons and squirrels but may allow small birds through.

1/2" Mesh

Standard size that excludes most birds and all larger animals. Good balance of protection and airflow.

1/4" Mesh (Fine Screening)

Keeps out even tiny birds and bats. Recommended for complete protection, especially if you’ve had bat problems.
We recommend the finest mesh that still allows proper draft and smoke exhaust for your specific chimney.

Common Questions About Pest Screens

No. Properly sized screening allows smoke and gases to escape freely while keeping animals out. We ensure adequate airflow for safe operation.
Don’t use your fireplace. Contact us immediately. We’ll humanely remove the animals, clean the chimney, and install screening to prevent their return.
We don’t recommend it. Improper screening can block airflow, create fire hazards, or fail to keep animals out. Professional installation ensures safety and effectiveness.
We time removals carefully to avoid separating mothers from babies. In some cases, we wait until babies are old enough to leave before sealing the chimney.
Not if you use quality materials. Our stainless steel and copper screens resist corrosion in Vancouver’s wet climate. Cheap galvanized screening rusts quickly.
