Groundhog Removal
Professional groundhog removal and burrow elimination to protect your property.
Groundhogs (woodchucks) are powerful diggers that create extensive burrow systems under sheds, decks, patios, and foundations. Their tunnels can undermine structural foundations, create sinkholes in yards, and provide pathways for water to enter basements. A single groundhog can move over 700 pounds of dirt creating its burrow system.
Tyler removes groundhogs using humane live trapping, then addresses the burrow system to prevent reuse by other animals. Burrows are collapsed and filled with compacted material, and vulnerable areas around foundations receive protective barriers.
Complete groundhog removal includes live trapping and relocation, excavation and filling of burrow systems, foundation protection with buried galvanized barriers, and garden or landscape barrier installation where needed.

Groundhog Removal FAQ
Can groundhog burrows damage my foundation?
Yes. Groundhog tunnels running alongside or under foundations can channel water toward the foundation, cause settling, and create voids that undermine structural support.
How deep do groundhog burrows go?
Groundhog burrows typically extend 2-5 feet deep and can stretch 15-25 feet in length with multiple chambers and exits. They're far more extensive than what's visible on the surface.
Will filling the burrow solve the problem?
Not without first removing the groundhog. A trapped groundhog will simply dig new exits. Tyler removes the animal first, then properly fills and compacts the burrow system.
How do you protect my garden?
Tyler can install buried galvanized mesh barriers around garden perimeters that prevent groundhog digging access. These barriers extend below ground to block tunneling.
