WHAT'S INCLUDED
Crawlspaces are one of the most common — and most overlooked — entry points for wildlife in Upstate NY. Groundhogs, skunks, opossums, and rodents nest beneath your home, destroying vapor barriers, contaminating soil, and creating serious moisture, odor, and structural problems that worsen every season. Black Pine provides thorough crawlspace remediation and full restoration: nesting material removal, vapor barrier replacement, soil treatment, and permanent exclusion integration. Every job includes a professional inspection, insurance documentation, and a guaranteed long-term prevention solution. Licensed & insured.

SIGNS YOU MAY HAVE A PROBLEM
Crawlspace contamination from wildlife is a structural and health risk. These warning signs indicate you need a professional inspection immediately.
Skunk or musky odor from beneath the home
Persistent ground-level odors are a primary indicator of wildlife nesting under your foundation.
Scratching or movement sounds below floors
Groundhogs, opossums, and rodents are active in crawlspaces — often heard at night or early morning.
Torn or disturbed vapor barrier
Animals tear through plastic vapor barriers to nest — visible damage is a clear sign of infestation.
Increased moisture or mold in the home
A compromised vapor barrier allows ground moisture to rise, causing mold, wood rot, and air quality issues.
Visible entry holes along the foundation
Gaps, holes, or disturbed soil along your foundation perimeter indicate active wildlife entry.
Soft spots or sagging in floors
Moisture damage from a compromised crawlspace can cause structural deterioration in floor joists over time.
