Most possum problems start with a gap. It might be a cracked tile, a ridge cap that has lifted, a hole where a pipe goes through the roof or a space where two roof sections meet. Roof gap sealing finds and closes those openings. We book local crews to do this work for homes across Eastern Brisbane, whether a possum is inside now or you want to stop one moving in.
The crew we book starts with a check of the roof space and the outside roof line. They mark every opening big enough for a possum, and many that would let in a rat or mouse. Each gap is then sealed with mesh, flashing or sealant, depending on where it is. Hard-to-reach spots on two-storey homes are checked with taller ladders. The work often covers:
- Securing loose ridge caps and shifted tiles near gaps
- Closing open valleys and gaps at the roof edge
- Sealing around pipes, flues and aerial cables
- Blocking gaps around solar panel mounts
- Closing openings where extensions meet the old roof
If there is any sign that a possum is still inside, the crew will get it out of the roof before sealing, so it is not shut in. They will also explain which gaps are the most urgent and which ones can wait if you are working to a budget. Photos of the sealed gaps can be taken where the roof space allows.
Older homes in Eastern Brisbane often have a few layers of changes to the roof, from closed-in verandahs to new rear sections. Those joins are some of the most common entry points. To book roof gap sealing, call 07 3543 7771 and we will give you an upfront price.
