The roof is where most possum trouble starts in Sunnybank Hills. A dry roof space above the ceiling is warm in winter and sheltered from storms, and it only takes a gap not much bigger than a tennis ball for a possum to squeeze in. Once inside, they tend to make a nest near the eaves or above a warm ceiling and come and go each night.
We book a local team to find the way in and close it off. The crew we book looks at the roof from both sides. Inside, they check for trails through the insulation, droppings and stains. Outside, they look at ridge capping, gutter lines, valleys, vents and any spots where the roof has been extended or patched. Two-storey homes often need a longer ladder and a second look at the upper eaves.
- Cracked capping mortar on older tile roofs
- Gaps under metal roof sheets at the gutter line
- Loose or missing eave lining boards
- Uncovered vents and whirlybird bases
- Joins where an extension roof meets the original roof
Every gap except the main entry is sealed first. A one-way door is then fixed over the main entry. When the roof is clear, the crew takes the door off, closes the opening and proofs the rest of the roof line so there is no easy way back in. Where droppings have built up, a clean-up can be done at the same visit.
You get upfront pricing on the phone before the visit, and visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. For roof possum removal in Sunnybank Hills, ring 07 3543 7765 and we will book a local crew for you.
