Groundhogs (woodchucks) are most active from spring through summer, especially during breeding and denning season. Their digging behavior can cause serious structural and safety issues around homes.
Damage concerns:
- Extensive burrowing under foundations, porches, decks, and sheds
- Undermined slabs and footings, leading to settling and cracks
- Large holes and collapsed areas in yards, creating trip hazards
- Damage to landscaping and gardens from feeding and digging
- Access points for other wildlife created by abandoned burrows
Why it matters:
Groundhog burrows can extend 10–30 feet with multiple chambers. Once established, damage worsens quickly and repairs become more costly.
Contact Lowcountry Wildlife Control early for professional removal and exclusion to prevent foundation damage and repeat activity.
