Once a possum has left through a one-way door, the gap it used needs to be closed for good. A loose piece of wire or a wad of steel wool will not hold for long, because possums are strong and will pull at anything soft. We book a nearby independent crew to seal roof entries properly on homes across Indooroopilly, with upfront pricing given before the visit.
The crew we book matches the seal to the roof. On tiled roofs they may re-bed or replace a cracked tile, fill gaps at the ridge or fit mesh along the valley. On iron roofs they often use shaped flashing or foam-backed closure strips at the gutter line and under the ridge. For timber eaves and fascias, they fit new boards or galvanised mesh where the old timber has rotted or split.
Every seal is held with screws or brackets rather than tape or glue, so it holds when a possum tests it. The crew also checks the areas next to the main entry, because a possum shut out of one gap will often try the next soft spot along. If a section of timber is too soft to hold a screw, the crew replaces it before sealing and prices that first.

A good seal is what turns a one-off removal into a quiet roof for years. If your Indooroopilly home has had a possum through the roof, call 07 3543 7772 and we will book a crew to seal it up.
