There are a variety of wildlife that can invade your home such as snakes, birds, raccoons, squirrels, and more. Proper removal is essential, and so is damage repair after the fact. Damage repair is necessary after wildlife removal because certain critters can wreak havoc on your home’s interior and exterior elements. In many cases, serious structural issues can occur in your home as a result of a wildlife infestation. After the removal process, damage repair is necessary to restore the structural integrity of your home.
Here are some other reasons why damage repair is important after wildlife removal:
- Fire hazards. Chewed wires are a common occurrence when certain animals enter your home. This can pose a potential fire hazard that needs to be diagnosed and repaired by a professional.
- Entry Points. You may notice holes around vents and baseboards marking spots where wildlife found their way inside. These entry points need to be properly closed off to ensure wildlife cannot find their way back into your home.
- Damage to Chimney. Various species can nest in your chimney, causing damage. This type of repair may be more involved and will require a professional.
- Health Risks. Even after they’ve been removed, pests can leave behind urine and droppings. These can pose a health risk to humans, and part of damage repair involves proper cleanup and decontamination. Additionally, animal waste can cause staining that will need to be properly removed and repaired.
