Attic Restoration

 

Wild animals finding their way into your attic doesn't just mean mysterious noises filling your home at night; those animals can also be extremely damaging to your home. Texas A&M's "AgriLife Extension" says nuisance wildlife can get into your attic easily if it isn't properly sealed, and once they're there, they wreak havoc. Roof Rats, for example, are prevalent in Texas, and the University says it takes a professional to get them out. The rats can chew away at the wiring in the attic and start a fire that can spread quickly to the home. Squirrels can squeeze through a gap as small as half an inch wide, destroying everything in their path, creating holes into the attic, through fascia and soffit boards (the barrier between the side and edge of a home's roof, and the outside.)


Animals will gnaw through insulation to create tunnels and find ways into other parts of your house. The insulation serves as bedding, and the holes created are an excellent place for wildlife to give birth, causing further contamination. The loss of integrity in the insulation will decrease the overall energy efficiency. That means you're leaking money straight from your wallet, out through the attic.


Getting those animals out safely and humanely is a three-step process. First, Wildlife Solutions of Texas will perform a detailed inspection to figure out the multitude of issues in your attic that will need our attention, so that we can be sure to solve the problem completely. We're not keen on shoddy work, and we want to make sure anything that's damaged gets fixed or replaced. Next, we work to evict any animals from the attic safely and humanely, as to keep the animal unharmed. And finally, our specialists start restoring your property to the look and function it had previously. That means replacing anything that's damaged by bite marks, burrowing, and bodily fluids, and thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing the area. Anything that could put you at risk we fix. Take Care of Texas says most Texas homes aren't insulated enough in the first place, so you don't have any you can spare to pests. We have experience with all different types of insulation and will refurbish all damaged areas, and make sure you have enough insulation for an energy-efficient home. We do most of the work ourselves. For specialized work, we work closely with reputable roofers, remodelers, electricians, and such who can live up to the quality we expect.
