Sometimes you already have a good idea where the animal is getting in. You may have seen a possum squeeze under a tile at dusk, or spotted a torn gap in the eaves after a storm. Roof entry sealing in Springwood is for jobs like this, where the aim is to close one or two obvious openings rather than proof the whole roof line.
When you book, we ask where the gap is, how high it is and what the roof is made of. The crew we book then checks the spot, makes sure no animal is still inside the roof space and seals the opening. Sealing a gap with a possum still inside would trap it in the roof, so this check matters.
- Checking the roof space before any gap is closed
- Galvanised mesh for larger openings at eaves and gutters
- Metal flashing along roof joins and edges
- Sealant or mortar for small cracks around ridge caps
- A look at nearby gaps that may be used next
Storm season in south-east Queensland often loosens tiles and bends flashing, and those new gaps are soon found by possums and rats. Ridge caps can also crack as a house settles over time. If you notice fresh damage after heavy wind or hail, it is worth getting it sealed before an animal moves in.
The crew will tell you if they see other openings close by, and give you a price for those as well. It is usually a smaller job to close a gap now than to clean up a nest, droppings and stains later. To book roof entry sealing anywhere in Springwood, call 07 3543 7768.
