Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Birds in Chimney (Chimney Swifts)
Birds often make their nests in any good location they see around peoples' homes apart from the trees. Some of them use chimneys for the same purpose. Sometimes, birds end up falling inside the chimney in an attempt to build their nests. Some of them may drop dead and decompose inside the system. This can cause bad odor to ooze out of the chimney.

One particular bird that is often seen around the fireplace is known as "Chimney Swift". It's a medium sized bird with short legs and long slender wings. In most cases, it doesn't like perching. It mainly clings on surfaces in a vertical position.

Chimney swifts are known for building their bracket nests in secluded vertical surfaces. That's why they often like having their nests on chimneys. A typical kind Chimney Swift often uses its glue-like saliva to cement its nest to the chimney top or even the wall. It can lay eggs in the nest and also breed its young right there.

Oftentimes, when a Chimney Swift or any other type of bird makes its abode in the chimney, you can start hearing unusual noise in the system from time to time. If by chance the bird gets trapped inside the chimney and dies, it will decompose within few days. When this happens, bad odor will start filtering into the house through the chimney.

In any case, you don't need to panic when you notice the presence of Chimney Swift or any other type of bird in your chimney. You can always look for solution to the problem. Here are some helpful tips to engage:
  • You don't have to remove the nest if the bird is still trying to hatch its young. In some location, it's against the law to remove a nesting bird from its nest. You're expected to wait until the brood leaves the nest before you can think of removing anything. However, you can still remove a nesting bird if there's no law preventing the act in your area.
  • If the bird is already dead and smelling, a thorough cleaning of the chimney is highly recommended. You can carry out the cleaning process by yourself. You need to use quality cleaning solutions to neutralize the odors caused by the dead bird. If you can't handle the cleaning process, you can always engage a certified Chimney Sweep to help you out.
In all, it's always important to prevent birds from perching or dropping inside the chimney in the first instance. You can get this done by protecting the chimney top and other parts. You can always engage a chimney repairer or builder to help you out.
