Animal Damage Repair in Media, PA
Closing up the holes animals used, once they are out.
What you are dealing with
What you can see is usually part of it.
Getting the animal out only fixes today. If the opening stays, the smell of the last animal draws the next one to the same spot.
We repair and seal the openings animals use: soffits, vents, fascia, roof returns and gaps near the foundation. What it takes depends on the hole, so we price it once we have seen it.
Any of these help us work out what is in there.
- A soffit or vent that was pulled loose
- Chewed fascia or roof corners
- A missing or broken chimney cap
- Gaps where an addition meets the house
- Holes dug along the foundation

Questions people ask
What to know about animal damage repair.
Can you just seal the hole now?
Not until the animal is out. Sealing it inside means it will die in the house or chew a new way out.
What do you use to close the openings?
Metal mesh, flashing and caps that animals cannot chew through, fitted to each opening.
Do you repair damage inside the attic?
We close the openings and tell you what we see inside, such as flattened or soiled insulation, so you know what needs attention.
