A possum in the roof is one of the more common calls we take from homes in Wishart. You might be hearing scratching after dark, heavy thumping along the ceiling line, or picking up a strong smell building in one corner of the house. Call 07 3543 7764 and we will ask a few quick questions about where the noise is coming from and how long it has been going on, then book a local crew to come out and take a proper look.
The visit starts with a check of the roofline, eaves and any gaps where old vents, lifted tiles or loose flashing give an opening. The crew looks through the ceiling cavity from the manhole for the exact spot being used, and for droppings, matted insulation or marks that show how long the possum has been settling in. From there they explain what fitting a one-way door would involve and where it needs to go.
Once the door is on, the possum can still push out to feed at night but cannot get back in. After the roof has stayed clear for a few nights, the crew seals that gap for good and checks the rest of the roofline in Wishart for any other opening that could let a possum back in later. Most visits also cover a look at the gutters, vents and eaves so smaller gaps are not missed the first time round.
- A full check of the roof and ceiling cavity, inside and out
- A one-way door fitted at the active entry point
- A return visit to seal the gap once it is confirmed clear
- Other gaps around vents, tiles and flashing checked and noted
- A price given before any work starts
