Most possum calls from Graceville are about the roof. Possums like a dry, dark roof cavity because it feels like a hollow tree, and older homes with iron or tile roofs often have a gap or two they can squeeze through. Once one moves in, it tends to come back to the same spot every morning.
We take your call, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. They start inside, working from the manhole, and look for the nest area and the path to the entry. On tile roofs, the gap is often a cracked or slipped tile, a loose ridge cap or a gap in a valley. On iron roofs, it is usually at the gutter line, under the ridge or where a flashing has lifted.
With the entry found, the crew fits a one-way door over it. The possum leaves on its nightly outing and the door stops it coming back. A few quiet nights later, the crew removes the door and closes the gap with a material that suits the roof, screwed firmly in place so it cannot be pulled loose. If the possum has been there for a while, the crew also notes any stained ceilings or soiled insulation so you can decide what to do next.
