Sometimes you are not sure what is going on above the ceiling. The noise might have stopped, or it might sound more like a rat than a possum. A possum inspection gives you a clear picture before you decide on any work. We book a local crew to come out to homes anywhere in Eastern Brisbane and check the roof from end to end.
The crew we book goes into the roof space with a torch and looks for signs of possums and rodents, such as droppings, urine stains, flattened insulation, nesting material and rub marks on beams. Outside, they walk the roof line and look for gaps, loose tiles, lifted flashing and branches touching the roof. They also look under the house if you have a raised home with open sides. An inspection usually includes:
- A check of the roof space for nests, droppings and tracks
- Looking at insulation for soaking, flattening or damage
- Finding gaps along the eaves, ridge, vents and gutters
- Checking for signs of rats or mice as well as possums
- A clear explanation of what was found and what can be done
An inspection is a good idea if you have just moved into a home, if a possum was removed some time ago and you want to check the roof is still sealed, or if you hear noise but are not sure where it is coming from. Many homes in Eastern Brisbane with older roofs have gaps that no one has looked at for years.
If you want work done after the inspection, the crew will give you a price first. There is no need to decide on the day, and you can call us back later to book the work. Call 07 3543 7771 to book a possum inspection.
