Entry point sealing is targeted work on the exact gaps a possum is using. Some homes in Robertson only have one or two problem spots, such as a corner where the gutter pulls away from the fascia or a gap behind a downpipe. Instead of proofing the whole roof, the crew we book can seal those spots and leave the rest alone if it is already tight.
To find the entry points, the crew looks for signs that are easy to miss. Dark rub marks on timber, scratches on paint and hair caught on a rough edge all show where a possum squeezes through. Inside the roof, they check for daylight coming through gaps and for paths worn into the insulation that lead to the eaves.
Each gap gets a fix that suits it. Small gaps under tiles are packed with folded galvanised mesh. Larger holes get a shaped metal cover screwed or riveted in place. Gaps around pipes and cables are wrapped in mesh collars. The aim is a neat finish that keeps possums out without blocking air flow through the roof. The crew shows you each fixed spot before they pack up, so you can see what was done.
- Gaps where gutters pull away from fascia
- Holes behind downpipes and around pipes
- Broken or lifted tiles at the edge of the roof
- Gaps where a patio or extension joins the house
- Openings around air conditioning and solar cables
Sealing is usually done while the possum is out, or after a one-way door has done its job. When you call, we ask what you have noticed and give you upfront pricing before we book. To book entry point sealing in Robertson, call 07 3543 7773.
