A possum inspection is a good first step if you are not sure what is in the roof. Maybe you have heard the odd thump, noticed a smell or spotted a mark on the ceiling. An inspection gives Brighton homeowners a clear picture of what is going on and what, if anything, needs doing.
The crew we book looks at the house from the inside and the outside. In the roof space they check for droppings, fur, urine stains and nesting material. Outside they check the eaves, gable vents, roof sheets, tiles, ridge caps and the joins where verandahs or extensions meet the main roof. On highset homes, they also look underneath for any gap that leads up into the walls.
- Roof space checked for droppings, stains and nesting signs
- Eaves, vents and roof edges checked for gaps
- Verandah and extension joins looked over
- Branches and climbing routes onto the roof noted
- A plain summary of what was found and the price of any work
If the crew does find a possum, they can usually start removal and sealing on the same visit, which saves a second booking. If there is no sign of one, you still get a list of the gaps worth closing before a possum finds them. Sometimes the noise turns out to be iron roof sheets creaking as they cool, and the crew can tell you that too.
