The next day we heard movenent and "chewing" sounds from inside the wall adjacent to the chimney. Armando was back within only a few hours, but while he was here there was (of course) not another sound from within the wall. We agreed to mark the wall exactly where we heard noises and to call him if and when the animal returned. Sure enough, early the next morning the animal was at it again and kept up the chewing for several hours until Armando and his manager got to the house. After using infra-red heat sensors and expert listening, lo and behold they identified a standpipe running down inside the wall at exactly the point above where we had been hearing the chewing. Where it emerged from the roof this standpipe was well-gnawed. Tapping and scraping on the pipe created exactly the chewing sounds we had been hearing inside the wall. Close inspection revealed that we have seven pipes coming through the roof, and all seven have signs of active and energetic chewing by squirrels. Armando wrapped all seven with sturdy hardware cloth. This may not prevent the squirrels from chewing, but they will not be able to damage the pipes and the sound should no longer carry down inside the wall. At this point we are very satisfied that 911 Wildlife has done everything within their power to get to the bottom of the "critters" in our wall and to resolve the problem. Armando is one of the most personable and pleasant professionals we have worked with, and he has the patience of Job to keep returning without additional charge until the problem was identified and resolved. We would not hesitate to call 911 Wildlife again.

Immediately after the storm, I called Hale Chimney Service. We were scheduled within a reasonable timeframe. He and his helper showed up as scheduled. They cleaned the chimney and inspected it inside and out. There were no problems to be fixed, thankfully We would use his service again and freely recommend him to others.

The cause of the leaks was well evidenced by the photos which indicated improper flashing at the chimney. Dennis prepared an estimate, which I accepted and we scheduled the repair for Tuesday, April 2nd. Dennis called on Monday and suggested we reschedule repairs for Wednesday due to rain in the forecast for Tuesday. Wednesday, workmen showed up at 8:30 AM - no rain, but it was cold. They proceeded to the roof and began the repairs, which were completed around 1:30 - 2:00 PM. They were very professional and cleaned up everything before they left. They commented that they were able to see the areas where water was leaking in and that they were able to fix them. Dennis called on April 9th to ensure that everything was done to my satisfaction and to e-mail completion report and photos of the repairs that were made.

911 Wildlife responded the same day we called then about something large doing handsprings on the damper in our chimney. Of course, when their technician Armando arrived there was not a sound and nothing there. Armando identified an obvious point of entrance through the chimney and stated...

"Technician came out for inspection and stated I needed a new cap since the existing one was damaged (crushed) on my wood burning stove. Appointment was set out a week in advance between 8 & 11 am, I actually called them at 10:45 and they said be there around 2pm. We rescheduled for the following Friday. Finally after they replaced the cap and put a seal on the door I have a smoke filled house and they're telling me they have nobody to come back and correct the problem. Terrible after the service business. Its ridiculous that I am having the same exact issue from before they diagnosed the problem, supposedly fixed it and charged me now I have to wait and deal with the smoke filled home.

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in Fairview, TX
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.

If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
On average, chimney repairs cost about $455. However, because of the vast range of potential repairs needed, the cost to repair a chimney ranges widely from $160 to $15,000, depending on the type and extent of repairs required.
