Raccoon Removal Time

 Our first mother raccoon with babies in a chimney today. The time for raccoon removal is going to start to get busy. Raccoon removal Dallas and Raccoon Removal Houston is one of Masters Services most successful services we provide.
 Mother raccoons can give birth to 1 to 6 pups in one litter. Raccoon pups are born pnk, hairless, and with their eyes closed. a mother raccoon is very protective of her young and is not to be take lightly. Best method of removal is to call us.
 Raccoons in attics and raccoons in chimneys can cause a mess. Raccoon feces is toxic to humans and household pets. One raccoon leaving feces is bad enough, think about 5-7 raccoons using your attic or chimney for a bathroom.
 Ringworm and rabies are carried by raccoons.

 Raccoon entry damage on your roof, chimney, soffets, attic vents, or siding can be expensive if not repaired quickly. Water damage can make an easy, fast repair, go from a $125 charge to a $1000 repair.

Chad may be the Certified Professional, but Christa's the reason for our Success.

 Going on our 16th anniversary in the chimney business some people may not know how important when starting the business Christa was to our success. We started the business together and grew with each other in the proccess.
 When I was on the roof or driving there was no way I could answer the phones. In the beginning she handled two small girls at home and the phones while I was doing the work in the field. She really doesn't get enough credit for this and should be reminded.

 I guess people aways ask to speak tto the owner and its a forgotten fact that she is co-founding owner with me. Love you Christa.

Water Leaks

Water leaks in chimneys' can occur without any noticable damage. The damage occurs in the walls around the fireplace and in the chimney flue.

Exterior Chimney Water Leak Check List...
1. Flashing is sealed and in good condition
2. Brick, Stone, Stucco, or Wood is sealed
3. Chimney mortar crown is crack free and sloid
4. Full coverage chimney cap that covers entire top of chimney

Annual chimney inspection covers this check list.

Chimney Cap with Full Coverage

A good chimney cap (total coverage chimney cap) should not just cover the flue opening, but cover the entire mortar crown and if possible the first course of brick or stone.

Top ten reasons for a total coverage chimney cap...

1. Eliminates the most moisture penetration of the flue.
2. Eliminates damper deterioration. Rust.
3. Flue integrity. No cracks due to moisture entering the flue.
4. Eliminates firebox moisture damage. Cracks in the back wall are reduced.
5. Mortar crown covered from heat exposure and moisture.
6. First course of brick/stone is covered.
7. Helps protects the mortar joints from mold growth on the exterior of the chimney.
8. Better animal guard because animals cannot sit on top of the mortar crown to gain access.
9. Better bird guard because birds cannot roost on chimney top.
10. Better appearance!
