A roof cavity inspection is the first step when you are not sure what is living in your roof or how it is getting in. Noises at night can come from possums, rats or even a loose sheet of roofing moving in the wind. An inspection gives you a clear picture before you decide what to do next.
The crew we book goes up through the manhole with a torch and checks as much of the roof space as they can reach. They look for droppings, urine stains on the insulation or ceiling boards, flattened nesting areas and fur caught on timber. They also check the outside of the house, including the eaves, gutters, gable ends and any branches that touch the roof. Many homes in Mount Gravatt have been extended over the years, and the join between old and new roof sections is a common place for gaps.
After the inspection, the crew explains what they found and what they suggest. That might be possum removal, proofing, a clean-up or nothing at all if the roof is clear. You can then book the work straight away or take time to think it over.

An inspection is a good idea if you have just moved into a home in Mount Gravatt, if a possum was removed in the past, or if you notice a new smell or stain on the ceiling. Call 07 3543 7764 to book a roof cavity inspection.
