Due to poor building codes in Michigan, a building space is likely present between the roofing decking and fascia board around the roofline of your home. These gaps will usually measure half an inch to four inches or more and is a typical entrance for critters to access your attic. This location needs to be sealed with galvanized sheet metal and usually takes the most quantity of time, effort and ladder maneuvering. Our galvanized sheet metal is pre-bent and slid under the shingles while screwed into the fascia board to secure. If seamless gutter covers exist, they are carefully removed to access the building and construction space. We then install sheet metal and appropriately re-install the rain gutter covers. If you have been thinking of getting rain gutter covers set up, now is the ideal chance. Discover more about our gutter cover choices and benefits.

When we’re positive all rodents are gone and can’t return in, it’s a great concept to tidy up their mess. If you choose to offer your house, most house inspectors will find and report rodent evidence to the possible purchasers or agencies. The kind of service we recommend depends upon the level of contamination. For small problems, frequently we can eliminate visible feces with a HEPA vacuum and disperse a hospital-grade disinfectant into the attic. Other evidence such as tunnels and routes in the insulation will also be smoothed out to benefit future examinations.

We follow several protocols to prevent contamination from entering your living space throughout our clean-out process. All insulation is gotten rid of. We guarantee that the attic floor and other locations are sealed correctly while keeping appropriate ventilation. In some cases, encapsulating paint is used to seal off heavily polluted surface areas. Last but not least, we install fresh insulation and always clean up behind ourselves prior to we go.
