Inside a Stuart chimney animal removal: what we do
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. With the St. Lucie River and downtown Riverwalk so near, wind-driven rain and chloride are the real test for Stuart chimneys, and we spec to both. Whether yours is a waterfront property or set back inland, we spec the parts to that exposure before we write the number down.
