Not every noise in the ceiling is a possum, and not every possum problem is easy to see. A roof cavity inspection gives you a clear picture before you decide what to do. It suits people in Southern Brisbane who have heard something odd, noticed a smell or stain, or just moved into a home and want to check the roof space.
The crew we book goes up through the manhole and works through the roof space with a torch. They look for droppings, urine stains on ceiling boards, squashed or pulled-up insulation, nesting material and chewed wiring. From outside, they walk the roof line and note any gaps, broken tiles, loose capping or damaged vents that could let a possum in.
- Droppings, stains and nesting spots inside the roof
- Squashed or disturbed insulation
- Chewed cables or damaged fittings
- Gaps and entry points along the roof line
- Signs of how recent the activity is
- A plain summary of what was found
At the end of the visit, the crew explains what they found in plain words. Fresh droppings and damp stains point to a possum still in residence. If one is living in the roof, they will tell you where it is getting in and what it would take to remove it and seal up. If the signs are old, they will say so. You then decide whether to go ahead, and nothing is done without your agreement.
An inspection is a good first step if you are not sure what is going on. We give you upfront pricing on the phone before the visit. For a roof cavity inspection in Southern Brisbane, call 07 3543 7766 and we will book a nearby independent crew at a time that works for you.
