Roof vents let hot air out of the roof space, but an open or damaged vent is also an easy way in for a possum. Gable vents with broken slats, whirlybirds with gaps around the base, and eave vents with missing covers are all common in Sunnybank Hills. Roof vent proofing covers these openings so air can still flow but possums cannot get through.
We book a local team to check every vent on the home. The crew we book fits galvanised mesh behind or over gable vents, seals the flashing around whirlybird and exhaust vent bases, and replaces or covers damaged eave vents. Mesh is cut to fit neatly, so it sits flush and looks tidy from the street. The work is done so the vents keep working as they should.
- Gable vents meshed behind the slats
- Whirlybird bases sealed and flashed
- Eave and soffit vents covered with mesh
- Exhaust fan outlets checked for gaps
- Any other openings found on the day noted and priced
Vent proofing is often booked as part of a wider possum proofing job, but it can be done on its own if a vent is the only weak spot. Two-storey homes often have high gable vents that are hard to see, so the crew checks them up close. If a possum is already using a vent to get in, the crew fits a one-way door there first, then meshes the vent once the roof is clear.
You get upfront pricing on the phone before the visit. Visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. To book roof vent proofing in Sunnybank Hills, ring 07 3543 7765 and tell us how many vents you can see from the ground.
