Understanding Crawlspace Restoration in Peachtree Corners
Peachtree Corners' aging homes often have crawlspaces compromised by decades of wildlife access. We restore them completely.
Your crawlspace might be out of sight, but it should never be out of mind. Up to 40% of the air you breathe inside your home comes from your crawlspace — it rises through gaps in your subfloor, gets pulled into your HVAC system, and circulates through every room. If your crawlspace is contaminated with animal waste, mold, or moisture, you're breathing that in every day. It's one of the most important spaces in your home, and for most homeowners, it's also the most neglected.
We get calls every week from homeowners who didn't even know animals were living in their crawlspace until the smell became unbearable. Raccoons, opossums, rats, and mice all love crawlspaces — they're warm in winter, cool in summer, and most homeowners never go down there. A family in Douglasville called us about a persistent musty smell that had been getting worse for months. When we opened the crawlspace access, we found a family of raccoons had torn through the vapor barrier, destroyed the ductwork insulation, and left droppings and urine everywhere. The smell was coming up through the floor vents and permeating the entire house. That's not uncommon — we see variations of this scenario every single week.
Crawlspace restoration is more than just cleaning up animal waste. It's about restoring the space to a condition that supports good air quality, energy efficiency, and structural integrity. That means removing all contaminated insulation and debris, sanitizing surfaces, replacing the vapor barrier, repairing or replacing damaged ductwork, and installing new insulation. In many cases, we recommend going a step further with full encapsulation — sealing the crawlspace completely to prevent future moisture and pest issues. Either way, leaving a contaminated crawlspace untreated is not an option if you care about your family's health and your home's value.
What To Do Right Now
Do This
- Have your crawlspace inspected at least once a year — many problems develop silently
- Check for musty odors, especially in rooms above the crawlspace or near floor vents
- Address any animal activity immediately — crawlspace damage escalates quickly
- Ask about encapsulation if you're doing restoration — it prevents future problems
Don't Do This
- Do NOT enter a crawlspace with visible animal activity or heavy contamination without proper PPE
- Do NOT ignore musty or foul smells — they indicate active contamination affecting your indoor air quality
- Do NOT lay new vapor barrier over a contaminated one — the old material must be completely removed
- Do NOT assume that removing the animals solves the problem — the contamination remains and gets worse over time

Dangers & Health Risks
Air Quality Hazards
Up to 40% of indoor air comes from your crawlspace. Contamination circulates through your HVAC.
Structural Damage
Moisture and wildlife damage weaken floor joists and subflooring.
Disease & Parasites
Animal waste harbors roundworm, hantavirus, and parasites that migrate into living spaces.
How We Solve Your Crawlspace Restoration Problem
Every situation is different, but our proven process ensures a permanent solution — not a temporary fix.
Crawlspace Inspection & Assessment
We inspect the entire crawlspace — vapor barrier condition, insulation damage, ductwork integrity, structural components, moisture levels, and contamination extent. Detailed report with photos provided.
Debris Removal & Sanitization
We remove all contaminated insulation, torn vapor barrier, animal waste, and debris. Every surface is sanitized with hospital-grade enzyme treatments and deodorized to eliminate odors at the source.
Vapor Barrier, Insulation & Repairs
We install a new heavy-duty vapor barrier, replace damaged insulation, repair ductwork, and seal entry points. For homes that need it, we recommend full encapsulation for permanent moisture and pest control.
Common in Peachtree Corners & Gwinnett County
Crawlspace issues are extremely common across Metro Atlanta, where most homes are built on pier-and-beam or block foundations with vented crawlspaces. Georgia's humidity makes crawlspaces prime real estate for moisture problems, mold growth, and wildlife intrusion. We see heavy crawlspace restoration activity in Douglas, Paulding, Coweta, and Fayette counties, where newer subdivisions often have crawlspace-height foundations with construction gaps that wildlife exploits. Older homes in Marietta, Carrollton, and Newnan frequently have decades of accumulated contamination from animal activity that previous owners ignored.
The Chattahoochee River along the western border, Crooked Creek, Jones Bridge Park, Simpsonwood Park (220+ acres), and extensive mature tree canopy throughout residential areas. Aging 1970s–80s rooflines make Peachtree Corners a hotspot for squirrel and raccoon entry. Homes near the Chattahoochee and Simpsonwood Park see elevated bat and raccoon activity. Rodent issues persist in the denser areas near Technology Park.

What Peachtree Corners Customers Say
"We had raccoons in our Spalding Woods attic for weeks before calling The Outdoors Group. They handled everything — trapping, repair, and attic cleanup. Wish we'd called sooner."
