Getting a possum out of the roof is only half the job. If the roof still has gaps, another possum can move into the same warm space within weeks. Possum proofing is about making the whole roof line harder to get into. We book a nearby independent crew to do this for homes across Woodridge.
The crew we book walks the roof line and checks the roof space from inside. They look at every spot where a possum could squeeze through, not just the one that was used. Gaps are closed with galvanised mesh, metal flashing, new capping or sealed eave lining, depending on the roof. Tile roofs often need work at the ridge and valleys, while metal roofs usually need it at the gutter line and flashings. The aim is a roof with no easy way in.
- Galvanised mesh over vents and small openings
- Metal flashing where roof sheets meet walls
- Ridge capping re-bedded or packed where gaps have opened
- Eave lining fixed back in place or patched
- Gaps around pipes and cables closed off
Proofing is often booked straight after a one-way door has done its job, but you can also book it on its own. Some owners in older homes like to proof the roof before a possum ever gets in, especially if they hear them on the roof at night or see them in nearby trees. Proofing also pairs well with downpipe guards and branch trimming, which cut off the easy climbs up to the roof.
The crew explains what they plan to seal and gives you the price before starting. You get upfront pricing on the phone before the visit, and visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. To book possum proofing in Woodridge, call 07 3543 7766 and we will line up a crew near you.
