A possum that has lived in a roof for weeks or months leaves a lot behind. Droppings pile up near the nest and along its path, and insulation in that area is often soaked and flattened. Once the possum is out and the gaps are sealed, sanitising the roof space helps with smell and makes it easier to spot any new activity later. We book an independent crew who works near Graceville, with upfront pricing given on the phone.
The crew we book starts by clearing droppings from beams, joists and the tops of walls, using bags and vacuums made for the job. Soiled insulation that cannot be saved is bagged and taken away. The area is then treated with a sanitising product to help break down residue and cut down odour.
If a large section of insulation needs to come out, the crew will explain it and give you a price before they go further. Some homes only need a small patch cleared near the old entry, while others need a larger clean-out. Drop sheets are laid under the manhole so the room below stays tidy. Work is done in the cooler part of the day where possible, since roof cavities in Graceville get very hot by the afternoon in summer.
