Crawlspace Restoration & Cleanup

Once the crawlspace of your home has been rid of pests or wildlife, there is probably a nasty mess left behind by your unwanted visitors. PURCOR offers comprehensive crawlspace repair and cleanup services specifically focused on rodent, nuisance wildlife, and general pest clean-up. When pests inhabit a crawlspace, it can quickly become a cesspool of fecal droppings, urine, bacteria, and other waste.

Fixing Crawlspace Damage

The presence of rodents and wildlife in your crawlspace can cause mold and decay, due to the feces and urine of the critters not to mention a very unpleasant smell. Rodents are also known for nesting in and damaging insulation, and vapor barriers. In addition, it is not uncommon to find food, nesting material, dead rodents, wood debris, and more when removing damaged insulation and vapor barriers. Nuisance wildlife such as raccoons, skunks, and opossums will tear down insulation, rip up vapor barriers and use the material for nesting. With raccoons, it is also common to find they have pulled apart heating ducts that run through the crawlspace to keep warm.

Crawlspace Cleanup

Failure to properly clean up your crawlspace after a rodent or wildlife infestation can lead to a myriad of problems. The urine and feces will begin to emit a nasty odor, especially during the warmer months. This odor can travel throughout your home, and even outside depending on how severe the infestation is and the duration of time it goes unaddressed. Furthermore, the feces and urine can cause bacterial issues making the crawlspace a contaminated and unsafe area. Another health concern is heating and air conditioning duct lines commonly running through the crawlspace which can pull contaminated air from the crawlspace into the live area of a home. We encourage you to hire professionals such as the team at PURCOR for crawlspace repair who have extensive training and are equipped to clean, sanitize and repair your crawlspace after a rodent or wildlife infestation to give you the peace of mind you and your family stay healthy and safe.

Comprehensive Crawlspace Rodent and Wildlife Cleanup Service

PURCOR’s Crawlspace Rodent and Wildlife Cleanup Service is guaranteed to have that area looking like new again. We will begin by bagging up nesting materials, debris, rodent & wildlife corpses, and other contaminated items in the crawlspace. Next, all pier posts, foundation sill plates, and duct lines are swept removing fecal droppings and other debris. Next damaged insulation is pulled and bagged up. Finally, the damage vapor barrier is bagged up. Bagging the contaminated items in the crawlspace repair area before removing them prevents the spreading of contaminants. If the access to a crawlspace is located on the interior of a structure a containment tunnel is erected from the crawlspace opening to an exterior door. This allows us to safely carry the contaminated item from the crawlspace through a home to the outside without contaminating or dirtying the interior of a home.

Crawlspace Mold and Bacteria Disinfection

Now that the crawlspace has been thoroughly cleaned out, the entire crawlspace is disinfected. This will help eliminate all mold and mildew, in addition to smells, germs, and bacteria from the space. Once the space is clean, we will conduct insulation and vapor barrier repairs. Lastly, we will make sure to inspect for any openings in the space where rodents or other critters may enter, and seal those places up if necessary.
