Getting a possum out of the roof is only half the job. If the gap it used stays open, the same possum or a new one will be back within days. Possum proofing closes off those routes, and it is the part of the job that keeps your ceiling quiet. We take bookings for possum proofing across Caloundra and book a nearby independent crew to seal up the roof line and the other weak spots around your home.
You get upfront pricing before the visit. The crew we book walks the roof and the roof space and marks every place a possum could squeeze through. A possum can fit through a surprisingly small gap, so they look closely at eaves, ridge capping, gable vents, gaps around pipes and cables, and the space where the roof meets a pergola or patio. They also check any spots where earlier patch jobs have come loose.
Possum proofing can include:
- Fitting sheet metal or mesh over gaps at the eaves and fascia
- Closing gaps under ridge capping and around loose tiles
- Meshing gable vents and whirlybird bases
- Sealing gaps around pipes, cables and air conditioning lines
- Advice on branches, wires and fences that give possums a path to the roof
Proofing is usually done straight after the possum has left the roof, but it can also be booked on its own if you want to get ahead of the problem. Homes in Caloundra near bushland, creeks and parks tend to need it most. The crew will point out what they sealed and show you any spots worth watching over the next few weeks. To book possum proofing, call 07 3543 7771 and we will arrange a local crew.
