If you are not sure what is making noise in the roof, or you want to check an older roof for gaps, a possum inspection is a sensible place to start. We book a local team that works around Sunnybank Hills to look over the roof space and the outside of the home and explain what they find. You get upfront pricing for the inspection before the visit.
Inside the roof, the crew we book looks for droppings, urine stains, nesting material, flattened insulation and trails through the batts. Outside, they check the ridge capping, eaves, gutters, vents and any trees or downpipes close to the roof. Together, these show whether a possum is living in the roof and how it gets in.
- Whether there are signs of a possum in the roof
- Where the main entry point is
- Other gaps that could let one in later
- Damage to insulation or ceiling boards
- Trees, fences and downpipes that give easy access
Inspections are popular with people who have just bought or moved into a home, landlords checking a rental, and anyone who has heard noise on and off without being sure what it is. It can also help if you are planning roof work and want to close up gaps at the same time. At the end, the crew gives you a plain summary and a price for any work they would suggest.
You are free to decide whether to go ahead. If a possum is found, the one-way door and sealing can often be done straight away. Visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. To arrange a possum inspection in Sunnybank Hills, ring 07 3543 7765.
