How Can I Prevent Rodent Issues Before Construction
Why Burrow Inspections Matter Before
Ground Is Broken

Pre-construction burrow inspection in Aiken, SC helps identify existing rodent activity before development begins. Construction sites often disturb active burrows, forcing rodents to relocate into newly built structures.
By identifying burrows early, developers and contractors can address activity before foundations are poured, utilities are installed, or slabs are sealed. Early intervention reduces long-term rodent pressure and protects the integrity of the finished property.
UCPaWS provides structured burrow inspection services for commercial development sites across Aiken and the surrounding Southeast region.
What We Look For During a Burrow Inspection
Our pre-construction inspections focus on identifying signs of active rodent burrowing on undeveloped or partially developed land.
Inspection elements may include:
• Active burrow openings
• Soil displacement patterns
• Runways and nesting areas
• Structural vulnerability zones
• Perimeter risk mapping
When appropriate, trained K9 units may support inspection efforts to confirm rodent activity in high-risk areas.
Our goal is to document activity clearly so project teams can take informed next steps.
