A roof cavity inspection is the right place to start if you are hearing noises but are not sure what is going on. We book these for homes all over Robertson, from older tiled roofs to newer metal ones. The crew we book goes up through the manhole, checks the whole roof space with a torch and looks for signs of possum activity. If a part of the roof is too tight to reach, they use a camera on a pole.
The crew is looking for a few things. Fresh droppings and urine stains show where a possum sleeps. Flattened insulation shows the paths it takes. Rub marks on timber and fur on the edge of a gap show where it gets in. They also check the outside of the house, including the eaves, gutters and any branches that touch the roof.
- Signs of a possum living in the roof now
- Older signs that show past activity
- Main and smaller entry points
- Soiled insulation and ceiling stains
- Branches, vents and gaps that give access
After the inspection, the crew talks you through what they found. If there is a possum in the roof, they explain the removal and proofing options and what each costs. If the roof is empty, they point out which gaps are worth sealing before the next possum finds them. You decide what to do next, with no pressure to book more on the day.
Inspections are also handy after a storm has shifted tiles, or when you have just moved into a house and want to check the roof. To book a roof cavity inspection in Robertson, call 07 3543 7773 and we will give you upfront pricing and a time.
