This should decrease the sounds.<\/li>\n<li>When you no longer hear the birds in the chimney, call Fluesbrothers at 913-236-7141 to schedule a cleaning and inspection. We will ensure all bird droppings are cleaned from the chimney, the abandoned nest is removed and, most importantly, we will find the point of entry and correct it so another flock does not make your chimney their temporary home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We have the answers to a lot more <a href=\"https:\/\/fluesbrotherskc.com\/kansas-city-chimney-sweep\/faq\/\">questions our customers frequently ask<\/a>.

This should decrease the sounds.<\/li><li>When you no longer hear the birds in the chimney, call Fluesbrothers at 913-236-7141 to schedule a cleaning and inspection. We will ensure all bird droppings are cleaned from the chimney, the abandoned nest is removed and, most importantly, we will find the point of entry and correct it so another flock does not make your chimney their temporary home.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>We have the answers to a lot more <a title=\"Learn More from These FAQs\" href=\"https:\/\/fluesbrotherskc.com\/kansas-city-chimney-sweep\/faq\/\">questions our customers frequently ask<\/a>.
