Adverse Effects of Animal Intrusion

Adverse Effects of Animal Intrusion

Biohazards, like feces, urine, and even parasites, from animals and pests in your home or attic can create an unhealthy home environment. Even having related contaminants in the air can make you sick, and trying to clean up the problem yourself is even riskier. If you suspect that you have animal intrusions at home, it’s important to reach out to a professional in restoration services in Flagstaff, AZ, like Mammoth Restoration. We discuss some of the adverse effects of animal intrusions below:

Insulation Damage

Animals can destroy your home’s insulation by tearing or gnawing at it. Not only does this reduce the insulation’s efficacy, but it can also include droppings, like feces and urine, which can soak into drywall or wood.

Health Hazards

Diseases, including brucellosis, leptospirosis, and worms and tiny parasites, can be transmitted through feces and affected water. Hazardous spores can also grow on animal feces, which when inhaled, can cause sickness or carry diseases. For this reason, it’s best to call for a professional restoration company at the first sign of an animal intrusion.

Animal Carcasses

Deceased animals not only create a pervasive stink but can also be surrounded by flies and beetles and leave wet spots underneath. Animals also usually die in attics or walls, which can make removal complicated, so it’s a job best left to professionals.

Roof Damage

Squirrels know how to gnaw through soffit, letting in moisture and encouraging mold. The trained cleaners at Mammoth Restoration are experts in water damage restoration and can effectively counteract the effects of moisture.
