We are leaders in water damage restoration services in Itasca County.

Our local Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing teams are highly trained and certified to restore water damage. Sometimes broken or damaged pipes are caused by animals. Here are some steps you can take to determine if animals are the cause of plumbing issues:

Look for any signs of damage to your pipes. This could include chew marks, scratches, or holes in exposed pipes. Check indoor and outdoor plumbing lines, including crawl spaces and basements, where pipes are often hidden.

Pay attention to any unusual sounds coming from your plumbing system, such as scratching or scurrying noises. These sounds could indicate the presence of rodents or other animals inside your pipes.

Watch for changes in water pressure or flow rate, as these could be signs of a blockage or damage to your pipes. If you notice sudden drops in water pressure or slow drainage, it could be due to animals blocking or damaging your pipes.

In areas where animals may have access to your plumbing system, such as crawl spaces or outdoor pipe openings, look for signs of nesting materials or other debris that could indicate the presence of animals.
