Attic & Crawl Space Remediation
A cleaner space after the wildlife problem is solved.
Wildlife can leave behind damaged insulation, nesting material, droppings and odor sources. Remediation begins after the active animal problem and entry route have been addressed so cleanup is not undone by repeat access.
THE PROCESS
Our Remediation Process
A clear process keeps the work focused on the cause, not only the symptom.
Control Exposure
Use appropriate containment, PPE and work practices for the material and area being handled.
Remove & Clean
Remove the materials included in the scope and clean accessible affected areas using the agreed process.
Prepare for Repair
Coordinate the next step for insulation, air sealing or other qualified trade work when those services are required.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Cleanup follows wildlife control
Entry Point First
Cleanup alone does not solve an active wildlife problem. Exclusion or repair should be addressed first.
Insulation Condition
Wildlife can compress, tear, soil or displace insulation. The scope may involve localized removal or larger remediation depending on the condition.
Trade Boundaries
Electrical, structural, mold, asbestos/vermiculite and other trade concerns may require a separate qualified professional.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Helpful things to know
Do you clean before sealing the wildlife entry point?
Normally the active wildlife problem and entry route should be controlled first. Otherwise new activity can contaminate the area again.
Do you spray chemicals or pesticides?
The written scope controls the remediation method. Turcotte’s does not represent wildlife cleanup as pesticide treatment; specialized environmental or pest-treatment needs may require another qualified provider.
What if you find mold, asbestos or unsafe wiring?
Work in the affected area may be paused and an appropriately qualified trade or environmental professional may be recommended before remediation continues.
