How in the world would you contribute to wildlife preservation by installing a chimney cap? Well, lets see what we've pulled out of some local chimneys (dead or alive): families of birds, we've scraped raccoon carcases off of damper plates and flue tiles, a couple of cats, and several squirrels. And then there are the nests that get knocked off of the flue tops by roofers and other folks that mostly end up in a toxic compost in some unspecified, and now unsanitary location. These are just a few examples of how installing a chimney cap can contribute directly to the welfare of local wildlife. Since, they can't get in, it will help your wallet too by reducing how many times you call pest control or emergency services.
Our chimney services include installing chimney caps of all sizes. We even have special screens developed for masonry chimney caps that protect both your chimney from animals but also the animals from your chimney. It's a win win scenario!
If we install a chimney liner for you, we'll automatically include the cap and we'll warranty the materials for life! That's right, not all caps are created equal. We only install materials that manufacturers will waranty. It's just not worth your money to go with anything else. Live greener and in harmony with your neighboring critters and support a healthy ecosystem by protecting wildlife at home.
Having a certified chimney sweep, like Jon, install a cap for you will give you solid piece of mind. Live greener and happier, knowing that you're protecting your environment and saving money by installing caps that may never need replacing. Our chimney caps are warranted for life, our labor is guaranteed for a year, unconditionally. Let's face it, we install chimney caps out on Marblehead neck, Gloucester MA, Nahant MA, as well as other coastal towns that experience high winds. We have special caps for those jobs.
We sell and install thousands of chimney caps. People call us and mention that they hear scratching sounds, cooing, and all kinds of things from inside their walls. Poor little fellas in there were just looking for heat and when they found your chimney they found an open trap. We pulled an entire skelleton of a sea gull out of a gas heating system flue in Gloucester once, fully intact.
Dan rescued a family of racoons with new-borns one time. They had taken up residence in the smoke chamber of the family's fire place. The home owner said, "Oh my goodness, we almost had a fire last night in our fire place. We would have killed them all." We were happy to see the family of raccoons set free. Wildlife management wasn't really on our resumes but we're happy to do what we can.
