Not every noise in the ceiling is a possum. It could be rats or mice, or just the roof creaking as it cools after a hot day. Many people put up with the noise for months, which gives the problem time to grow and the mess time to spread through the insulation. A roof space inspection in Springwood answers the question before you spend money on the wrong job.
The crew we book goes up through the manhole with a torch and looks at the insulation, beams, wiring and the underside of the roof. Tracks through the insulation, droppings, nesting material and urine stains all tell a story. They then check the roof line from outside for gaps, loose tiles and branches that touch the roof.
- What animal is living in the roof, if any
- Where the nest is and how big the mess is
- Each entry point, with photos where possible
- Any chewed wiring or damaged insulation
- A plain price for the work that is needed
You get a clear picture of the problem and the options. If the crew finds a possum, they can often start the removal the same day, as long as you are happy with the price. If they find rats or mice, they can talk you through baiting. Sometimes the answer is that nothing needs doing, and the crew will say so.
An inspection is also worth doing before winter, when possums start looking for a warm place to shelter, or after buying an older home in Springwood. To book, call 07 3543 7768 and tell us what you have been hearing.
