Roof entry sealing closes the exact gap a possum has been using to get into your home. It is the step that turns a short fix into a real one. Without it, the possum simply waits outside and moves back in as soon as the one-way door comes off.
The crew we book only seals the main entry once they are sure the roof is empty. Closing the gap while a possum is still inside leaves it stuck in the roof, which means more noise and more mess. So the crew checks for fresh droppings, looks for new marks on the insulation, listens for movement and looks at the one-way door for signs of use before they close anything.
Each roof in Mount Gravatt needs a slightly different fix. Gaps under tiles are often closed with shaped mesh. Holes in fascia boards or at gutter ends can be covered with galvanised sheet or flashing. Openings where a pergola, patio roof or extension joins the house might need a mix of both. The crew fixes each piece with screws or nails so it sits firm and neat.

Entry sealing is usually part of a possum removal booking, but you can book it on its own if a possum has already gone and you want the gap closed. Plenty of homes in Mount Gravatt have old openings from past visitors. Call 07 3543 7764 to book roof entry sealing.
