Chimney Nest Removal in Katy, TX

Dry nesting material ignites fast and can set off a chimney fire, and a blocked flue forces smoke and carbon monoxide back into the house. A nest has to be physically removed and the flue cleaned, never burned out, and you can't safely use the fireplace until the blockage is gone.

Yes. Chimney swifts and many other birds are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, so an active nest with eggs or chicks generally can't be removed until the birds fledge. Timing matters; the safe and lawful move is to assess what's nesting before touching it, then cap the flue once it's clear.

Removing the nest and debris and cleaning the affected flue so it drafts safely again. A cap or spark arrestor is the standard follow-up to stop re-nesting. The price moves with nest size, how far down the flue it sits, and roof access.

A properly fitted cap with code-range mesh is the long-term fix; it seals the flue top against birds and animals while still venting. Without a cap, the same open flue tends to be re-colonized season after season, so removal without capping usually just resets the clock.

Yes. Nesting brings moisture and acidic droppings that can corrode the liner and damage the cap and crown, and packed debris can hide cracks. We inspect the flue during cleanup and flag liner, cap, or crown issues separately from the removal itself.
