What an El Cid chimney animal removal actually includes
On El Cid 33401 homes, the job runs like this. We remove the animal humanely, clear the nesting material and droppings that block draft and carry odor, and install a code-compliant cap with animal mesh so the flue is sealed against re-entry. This close to the Intracoastal Waterway along South Flagler Drive, that means assuming salt-air corrosion on every exposed metal part — cap, flashing, and damper. The fix that lasts on an El Cid home is the one matched to its construction and its spot on the coastal-to-inland line, which is exactly what the on-site look settles.
