Groundhog Removal Experts Serving New York
Groundhogs are common in New York's outer boroughs and suburban communities, where they excavate burrows beneath decks, sheds, and foundations. A single burrow can extend 25–30 feet underground, removing soil support from foundations and causing settling and cracking.
In the NYC area, groundhogs are most prevalent in Staten Island, eastern Queens, and Westchester County. Our NY DEC-licensed technicians use humane live trapping and L-shaped exclusion barriers to remove groundhogs and protect your foundation from future damage.

"Groundhog had burrowed right under my front steps. The technician trapped it, filled the burrow, and installed a barrier so it can't happen again. Great work."
