Fountain Hill gets about 47 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood.

Buildings with years of buildup can hold thick, dry, dusty guano that is easy to disturb. Crews ventilate, wet down and use respirators and containment to keep spores out of the air.
It depends on the size of the area, the depth of the deposit, how much insulation must come out and how hard the space is to reach. A small ledge costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.
Yes, if birds or bats roost near vents or intakes, droppings and dust can enter air paths. Cleanup may include treating vent openings and nearby surfaces.
Common signs are dark droppings that crumble, stains on walls near gaps, a strong ammonia smell and squeaking or scratching at dusk and dawn. Droppings often collect in piles below entry points. A wildlife professional can confirm it.
The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.
