Groundhogs dig burrows that can undermine foundations, decks, and sheds. We trap and remove them, then seal the burrows.
Real jobs, photographed by our crew. Found, fixed, and sealed so it doesn't happen again.

The questions we get asked most about groundhog removal.
Rarely. Groundhogs dig tunnel systems with more than one entrance, so filling the hole you can see usually means a new one appears nearby. The workable fix is removing the animal, then screening the foundation and outbuilding perimeter properly, below grade.
Yes. Burrows undermine slab edges, retaining walls, walkways and shed floors. Around Salem, Cumberland and Gloucester counties the usual casualty is an outbuilding, and it often shows up as cracked concrete or a corner that has started to sink. Filling it after the fact is far more expensive than stopping the digging.
We bury a heavy mesh barrier in an L shape along the base of the structure, angled outward. Groundhogs dig down before they dig under, so a barrier with that return stops them. It sits below grade, so it is not visible when finished.
No, inspections are free. We find the active burrows, work out how many animals are present and check for young, then quote the removal and the exclusion separately so you can see what each part costs and decide on each one.
