Possum proofing is about stopping the next possum before it gets in. Even after a roof has been cleared and the main entry sealed, there may be other soft spots that a new possum will find. Homes in Indooroopilly with older roofs, open eaves and big trees nearby are the most likely to have a second or third weak point. We book a nearby independent crew to go over the whole house, and you get upfront pricing when you call.
The crew we book walks the roof line from the ground and checks from inside the roof space. They look for lifted tiles, gaps at the ridge and valleys, loose flashing, broken eave boards, open vents and gaps where pipes or cables pass through. Each gap is sealed with a material that suits the spot, such as galvanised mesh, metal flashing or new timber.
They also look at how a possum reaches the roof. Branches that touch the gutter, trees growing against the walls and fences that run up to the eaves all act as ladders. The crew can fit tree guards and will point out branches worth trimming back. Any extra work is priced before the crew starts on it.

Proofing can be done on its own or as the second half of a removal job. Either way, it is the step that keeps your ceiling quiet. Call 07 3543 7772 to book possum proofing for your Indooroopilly home.
