Many homeowners do not realize how much destruction wildlife can cause until the problem becomes severe. Animals tear insulation, chew wood, damage wiring, and leave behind waste that can spread bacteria and odors. These issues can affect indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and the overall safety of your home. Trying to clean or repair the damage without professional help often leads to incomplete results, leaving your attic vulnerable to future intrusions.


AWAE Restoration understands how stressful attic damage can be. Our team provides detailed restoration that removes contamination, repairs structural issues, and restores proper airflow. We make the process simple and clear, giving homeowners confidence that their attic is safe again.

Understanding the Importance of Attic Restoration

Attics play a major role in the health and efficiency of a home. When wildlife enters this space, the damage can spread quickly and affect multiple systems.

How Wildlife Damages Attics

Insulation becomes contaminated with droppings and urine.

Wiring is chewed, creating fire hazards.

Wood structures are scratched or gnawed.

Vents are damaged or pulled open

Moisture builds up from blocked airflow

Odors spread through the home

Mold growth increases due to damp insulation.

These issues can lead to higher energy bills, poor air quality, and long-term structural concerns.

Complete Attic Restoration Services

Our attic restoration process is designed to repair every part of the attic affected by wildlife activity. We restore safety, cleanliness, and structural integrity.

Insulation Removal and Replacement

Contaminated insulation must be removed to eliminate odors, bacteria, and moisture. We safely remove damaged insulation and replace it with clean, energy-efficient materials that improve comfort and reduce heating and cooling costs.

Structural Repair and Reinforcement

Wildlife often damages wood beams, rafters, and support structures. We repair or replace damaged materials to restore strength and stability.

Wiring and Utility Repair

Chewed wiring is a serious fire hazard. Our team identifies damaged electrical lines and ensures they are repaired by qualified professionals.

Debris and Contamination Cleanup

We remove nesting materials, droppings, and debris to restore a clean and healthy attic environment.

Attic Venting for Better Airflow and Protection

Proper attic ventilation is essential for preventing moisture buildup, improving energy efficiency, and blocking wildlife entry. Damaged or weak vents are one of the most common ways animals enter a home.

Vent Repair and Replacement

Animals often push through loose screens or chew through vent coverings. We repair or replace attic vents to restore airflow and prevent future intrusions. Strong, weather-resistant materials help protect your home year-round.

Improving Airflow and Moisture Control

Good ventilation helps regulate temperature and reduce moisture, which protects insulation and prevents mold growth. Proper airflow also reduces strain on heating and cooling systems.

Reinforcing Vent Openings

We strengthen vent areas to prevent animals from pushing through or chewing their way inside. Reinforced vents help maintain a secure barrier while allowing proper ventilation.

Air Sealing for Long-Term Protection

Air sealing is one of the most effective ways to prevent wildlife entry and improve energy efficiency. Wildlife often enters through small gaps that homeowners do not notice.

What Air Sealing Involves

Sealing cracks around the foundation

Closing gaps in siding or rooflines

Reinforcing attic openings and vents

Sealing utility entry points

Using caulk, foam, mesh, and weather-resistant materials

These steps create a strong barrier that blocks wildlife from entering your home.

Why Air Sealing Matters

Air sealing does more than keep animals out. It also improves comfort, reduces drafts, and protects insulation from moisture. By sealing vulnerable areas, you strengthen your home’s structure and reduce the risk of future repairs.

Benefits of Professional Air Sealing

Reduces long-term repair costs

Professional sealing provides long-lasting protection and peace of mind.
