Breathable Water Repellent
A vapor-permeable repellent that keeps water out — never a film-forming sealer, which traps it in.
Learn moreSomething is living in your chimney. Getting it out is only half the job — leave the opening open and the next tenant moves in within a season, because an uncapped flue is exactly the sheltered vertical shaft a raccoon or a bird is looking for. So we remove the animal and the nesting material, sweep out what's left behind, and cap the flue with anchored stainless mesh so the vacancy stays closed. One exception we take seriously: chimney swifts are federally protected migratory birds, and while they're nesting from roughly March through August they cannot lawfully be removed. If that's what you have, we secure the damper, tell you when the birds will leave on their own, and book the cap for after they do.
Prices shown are starting estimates and may change with the condition, access, and scope we find on site. Only a written quote from an on-site visit is a price we commit to.

At PCS Services, a animal removal & exclusion is never guesswork. We scope every job from a graded, photographed inspection first — the NFPA 211 level the evidence calls for — so the work is matched to what your flue and masonry actually need, with the report to prove it. The documented inspection is the record the animal removal & exclusion is built on.
Chimney inspectionWe've worked on 0+ DFW homes over 15+ years. Every job — small sweep or full rebuild — runs the same way: certified technicians, written quotes, photo reports, warranty in writing.
Our own trained inspectors — never subbed out
Written quote before any work begins
1-year workmanship warranty
Insurance-grade photo documentation
Family-owned, licensed and insured, working to NFPA 211. We're the team you call when you want it done right the first time — no rotating subcontractors, no upsell pressure, no surprises. Same techs, same trucks, same standard.

One full visit a year: a complete sweep, a top-to-bottom inspection, and a photo report you keep. Between visits you get the part you can't see — we track your schedule, send the reminders, and hold priority slots for plan members during the fall rush. If a repair ever comes up, you get a written quote first. There's no contract; the plan renews only if you want it to.
Before we leave your first visit, next year's window goes on our calendar. When it gets close, we reach out — text or call, your choice — and you pick the exact day. If you don't answer, we try again. That's the entire trick of the plan: your chimney gets maintained because someone whose job it is remembered, not because you happened to.
Honestly, no. If your chimney was built or fully relined in the past year, wait — it doesn't need a plan yet, and we'd rather tell you that than sell you one. Same if you have a gas-only fireplace you light twice a winter: an inspection every year or two covers you. Plans earn their keep for wood burners and busy households. On the fence? Ask. We'll tell you straight.
Late spring through summer is the smart window. The chimney's done for the season, everything winter did to it is visible, and appointments are easy to get. Most people call in October instead, when the calendar's slammed and the first cold front is a week away. Either works. But book in June and you'll never think about it in October.
Because the first cold snap is the chimney trade's alarm clock. From September through November, everyone who forgot their fireplace all year remembers it in the same two weeks, and every sweep in Dallas–Fort Worth is booked solid. It's the worst time to need an appointment, and it's the whole reason our plans schedule you automatically before the crowd shows up.
