Why Salem Homes Face Animal Damage

Older Salem homes and open crawlspace vents give rodents easy entry. Once inside, they nest in insulation, chew electrical wiring, and contaminate framing and ductwork—circulating odors and allergens into living areas.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Inspection & Documentation

We locate nests, run thermal and moisture checks, identify entry points, and produce a written scope with photos for insurance.

Waste & Insulation Removal

Contaminated insulation and debris are bagged under containment and HEPA-vac’d from joists, piers, and mechanicals.

Disinfection & Odor Control

EPA-registered disinfectants and enzyme/oxidizer treatments neutralize bacteria and odors; optional duct cleaning prevents recirculation.

Restoration & Exclusion

We rodent-proof access gaps, install new vapor barrier and insulation, and verify clean conditions with final readings.

Why DIY Cleanup Fails

Disturbing droppings without containment aerosolizes particles and pathogens. Household cleaners and shop vacs lack HEPA filtration, spreading contamination to clean rooms and risking re-infestation because entry points remain unsealed.
