A possum smell is hard to miss. It is sharp and musky, and in the humid months it can creep through the whole house. It tends to be worst right above bedrooms and hallways where the nest sits. The smell comes from urine soaked into insulation and timber, from droppings, and sometimes from an animal that has died in the roof. Roof odour treatment tackles the smell once the source has been removed. We take bookings for it in Caloundra and book a nearby independent crew, with upfront pricing on the phone.
The crew we book first checks that the animal and the worst of the soiled material are gone, because treating a smell while the cause is still there does little. Then they apply a deodorising treatment to the affected timber, insulation and roof space, and may use a fogger to reach corners that are hard to get to. They also check the ceiling below for stains that hold the smell. Most treatments are done in one visit.
Roof odour treatment can include:
- A check that the source of the smell has been cleared
- Removing any leftover soiled insulation
- Deodorising timber, insulation and the roof space
- Fogging hard-to-reach corners
- Advice on airing the house over the next few days
Most smells fade over a few days after treatment, though strong cases can take longer in the summer heat in Caloundra. Keeping windows open for a day or two helps the air clear. If you still notice it after a week or so, call us back and we can book another visit. To book roof odour treatment, call 07 3543 7771 and we will arrange a local team.
