Getting a possum out is only part of the job. If the house still has soft spots, another possum will find them, sometimes within weeks. Possum proofing closes those gaps before they are used. We book an independent crew who works near Graceville to go over your home, and give you upfront pricing when you call.
The crew we book starts with a slow walk around the house, then checks from inside the roof cavity. They look at tiles, ridge caps, valleys and flashings, the gutter line on iron roofs, eave linings, fascia boards, vents and any gaps where pipes, cables or aerials pass through. Each weak spot is sealed with a material that suits it, such as galvanised mesh, metal flashing, new timber or a vent cover.
They also think about how a possum reaches the roof in the first place. Trees beside the house, branches over the gutter, climbing plants on walls and fences that run up to the eaves all act as ladders. The crew points these out and can suggest simple changes in the garden. They also check sheds, carports and patio roofs that sit close to the house, since these often give a possum its first step up. Any extra work is priced before it starts.
