A wide range of home ages
Antioch has homes from many decades, and the entry points change with age. Older houses are more likely to have raised foundations with crawl spaces, foundation vents with worn or missing screens, and gaps that have opened up around original plumbing and wiring.
Newer homes tend to be on slabs, so the openings are mostly up high: roof vents, gaps where roof lines meet, and penetrations for AC lines. Either way, the fix is the same: find every opening, remove the rodents inside, and seal.
What an inspection in Antioch should check
- Crawl-space and foundation vents on raised-foundation homes
- Gaps around older plumbing, gas and electrical entries
- Roof and gable vents, and gaps at roof returns
- Garage door seals and corners
- Ivy, overgrown shrubs and tree limbs touching the house

Cost
