Groundhogs Woodchucks
Groundhogs, or woodchucks, are large rodents specifically known for their burrowing habits and bad behavior. Woodchucks and Groundhogs prefer middle areas where forest or woodland meets a well-grown open field or meadow. Woodchucks and Groundhogs spend most of their time under ground in complex burrow systems. In addition they dig in dry, well-drained soil. Most of the time groundhogs dig their burrows in areas with nearby cover such as fence rows, hedge rows, beside homes, and a home foundation or trees.

Woodchucks are known to burrow under sheds, fences, pools and even along the foundation of homes and offices. The soft soil under these areas can lead to the collapse and even more damage to the property. If a groundhog digs along the foundation of a home or business, water will eventually enter the property through the burrow and seep in which will cause water damage and mold.
