Can raccoons break through celings?

In this modern era, almost every second house has done their interior designing with several designs of ceilings. These ceilings consume competitively high costs as compared to other interior materials. Raccoons are known for their sharp minds and clever ideas. If they took their path towards your house, they will surely give you a tough time. They could easily find different ways to your home and build their nests in several areas of it. Doing this, they could be responsible for causing several damages to your property and your households and most importantly if once they had built their house at your place it would be very difficult for you to kick them out. Moreover, their stay at your place could also result in the spread of various diseases like rabies that would attack you or even your pets. Simply, it would never be a good experience for most of you to have raccoons in your house, whether they are in your attic, in the ceiling, in your basement or at any other place. They would be completely destructive everywhere. Now, heading towards the main question, can these annoying creatures break through the ceilings in our houses?

Raccoons and ceilings

Raccoons are very good at climbing. They can easily climb up the surface of any material except that of the glass. If you have any with long branches near your house then it will be a very easy path for the raccoons to jump into your houses. Actually the answer to the question about raccoons' breaking through the ceilings is quite complex. Although, the raccoons can easily climb to your ceilings when it comes to breaking through it the factor to be considered is the material of the ceiling. It somehow depends upon the material of the ceiling that will it be broke by the raccoons or not

Fabric ceilings

The ceilings with fabric material are not so strong, as the material used to make them is not very solid, rather it is known as the material like paper. So, if you have such ceilings in your house then it could be possible that the raccoons may break through it. Raccoons dig up on various surfaces to make their nests, so if they are present in your attic so they would probably try to dig their roosting in the floor of it and having fabric ceilings on the roof beneath the attic could result in the breakthrough by raccoons' digging.

Solid ceilings

Ceilings of some other materials rather than fabric that are solid and strong could be a good idea as compared to fabric ceilings. Because of their strong and firm materials, it would be difficult for the raccoons to break through it and it would also be possible that you get informed about the raccoon digging in your ceilings before it has actually completed its task, and it would be possible due to the noise that is expected to be produced during raccoons' digging.

Conclusion

It is not impossible for a raccoon to break through your ceilings. They could cause massive damage to your highly expensive ceilings. In order to avoid such damages you should remove raccoons as soon as you come to know about their presence.
