A possum in the roof of a home in New Farm usually shows up as scratching, thumping or footsteps along the ceiling line, mostly around dusk and again before sunrise. When you call 07 3543 7773, we ask what you have heard and where, then book a local team to come out, look over the roof space from a ladder and work out how the possum is getting in before any work starts.
Most roof jobs start with a one-way door fitted over the actual entry point, so the possum can push out through the door on its own path while the gap stays shut behind it once the roof cavity is clear. The crew we book will also check the rest of the roofline while they are up there, since eaves, roof vents, old chimney breasts and loose flashing can all give a possum another way in if they are left alone.
Wall cavities get a look as well where the sound is coming from a wall rather than overhead, since some older homes around New Farm have gaps low down near the base of a wall that lead straight up into the roof space. Once the crew has a clear picture of how the animal is moving through the house, they can talk you through what the job involves before starting.
- One call books a local team for the roof or wall cavity.
- The price for the visit is set before the crew arrives.
- One-way doors go over the entry point the possum is actually using.
- The roofline gets checked for other open gaps at the same visit.
- Sealing and proofing happen once the roof cavity is clear.
Call 07 3543 7773 and tell us what you are hearing, and we will book a time for a local team to come out and have a look.
