Every roof animal problem starts with a gap. It might be a lifted tile, a hole in the fascia, a missing vent cover or a space where a pipe goes through the wall. Entry point sealing is about finding each of those gaps and closing it properly. Sealing the wrong gap does nothing, so the finding part matters as much as the fixing. We take bookings in Caloundra and book a nearby independent crew to do the work, with upfront pricing before the visit.
The crew we book looks for signs of use around the outside of the house, such as dirty rub marks on the fascia, fur caught on edges, scratches on gutters and droppings on the ground below. They pay extra attention to spots near trees, fences and power lines. Inside the roof space, they look for daylight coming through and for tracks in the insulation that lead to a gap. Once they have found the routes, they seal each one with a material that suits the spot.
Common entry points include:
- Gaps where the roof meets the gutter or fascia
- Broken or missing ridge capping
- Gable and eave vents without mesh
- Holes around pipes, cables and air conditioning lines
- Gaps where a newer extension joins the older roof
- Openings into the subfloor on raised homes
Sealing is usually done once any possums or rats have left, so no animal is shut inside. In Caloundra, many homes have had extensions, pergolas or solar panels added over the years, and each change can leave a new gap. If the crew spots other weak points while they are up there, they will tell you and let you decide. To book entry point sealing, call 07 3543 7771 and we will line up a local crew for you.
