Complete Home Protection Services in Richmond VA
About Us
Critter Authority is a Richmond-based, family-owned company specializing in wildlife, pest, attic insulation, and crawl space solutions. We’ve been in business for over 30 years, and we’re proud to continue serving homeowners throughout the Richmond area.
Our services include attic insulation removal and replacement, crawl space repair and encapsulation, foundation repair, pest control, and wildlife removal. In many homes, these issues are connected. Animals get in, insulation gets damaged, moisture builds up, and over time it starts to affect both the structure and the air quality inside. We focus on addressing the full problem so it’s handled properly from start to finish.
We also work closely with our sister company, Summit Environmental Solutions. That allows us to go beyond basic removal or surface-level repairs. We can handle the cleanup, repair the damage, and put preventative measures in place to help keep the problem from coming back.
Most homeowners reach out once they notice something isn’t right. It could be noise in the attic, signs of moisture in the crawl space, or rising energy bills. We offer free inspections and estimates so you can get a clear picture of what’s going on and what it’ll take to fix it before any work begins.
Attic Insulation Removal & Replacement
We handle full attic insulation removal and replacement, especially in homes where animals have nested, contaminated the space, or torn through existing insulation. In those cases, simply adding new insulation on top doesn’t solve the issue. The damaged material needs to be safely removed, the area needs to be sanitized, and then new insulation can be installed.
Our team takes care of the entire process. We inspect the attic, identify problem areas, remove compromised insulation, and replace it with new material that helps restore comfort and efficiency in your home.
If you’ve noticed higher energy bills, uneven temperatures, or signs of activity in your attic, it’s worth taking a closer look.
Crawl Space Repairs, Encapsulation, Seal-Outs
We handle crawl space repairs, full encapsulation, and seal-outs to help protect your home from the ground up. That starts with identifying any existing damage, whether it’s moisture-related or caused by wildlife. From there, we repair what’s been compromised, seal off entry points, and install encapsulation systems that help control moisture and improve the overall environment beneath your home.
Seal-outs are a big part of this process. If animals have gotten into your crawl space once, they’ll try to come back unless those entry points are properly closed off. We make sure those areas are secured so you’re not dealing with the same problem again a few months later.

Foundation Repairs in Richmond
Our team handles a range of foundation concerns, from minor cracks to more advanced structural repairs. If needed, we’ll also address contributing factors like moisture in the crawl space or drainage issues around the home to help prevent further movement.
If you’ve noticed cracks in your walls, uneven floors, or doors that aren’t closing properly, it’s worth having your foundation checked before the problem gets worse.
Pest Control Services in Richmond
We provide pest control services in Richmond focused on both treatment and prevention. That means identifying what’s active, where it’s coming from, and what conditions are allowing it to continue. From there, we put a plan in place to eliminate the issue and reduce the chances of it coming back.
A lot of pest activity is tied to larger problems like moisture, gaps around the home, or damaged areas that give pests an easy way in. Because of the type of work we do, we’re able to address those underlying issues as part of the process, not just treat the surface-level problem.
If you’re seeing signs of pest activity, whether it’s ants, rodents, or something else, it’s best to deal with it early before it spreads further into the home.
Wildlife Removal in Richmond
We provide wildlife removal services in Richmond focused on safe, thorough removal and long-term prevention. That starts with identifying what animal you’re dealing with, how it got in, and how long it’s been active. From there, we remove the animal, address any damage, and close off entry points so it doesn’t happen again.
Common signs include scratching or movement in the attic, strong odors, or visible entry points around the roofline or foundation. In many cases, there’s also damage that needs to be handled after the animals are gone, which is something we’re equipped to take care of.
Wildlife issues don’t go away on their own. If you’re hearing or seeing signs of activity, it’s best to have it inspected before the damage gets worse.
