Smells from the ceiling are hard to live with, especially in the warm, humid months. A possum that has used the roof for a while leaves urine in the timber and insulation. Rats leave droppings and nests. A dead animal leaves a stain even after it has been taken away. In homes across Western Brisbane, those smells often come down through cornices, downlights and air-conditioning vents.
Odour removal deals with the source first. The crew we book checks the roof space to make sure nothing is still living or rotting there, then clears out soiled material and treats the affected area to break down the smell. If the smell is coming from a wall or subfloor, they check those spots too.

The smell will only go if the cause is gone. If the animal is still there, or the gaps are still open and new animals keep moving in, the crew will tell you and suggest removal or sealing first. Some smells take a few days to clear after treatment as the air in the roof space turns over.
Tell us when the smell started and whether it gets worse on hot afternoons, as that helps the crew narrow down where to look. If ceiling boards are badly soaked, the crew may suggest replacing them, which is a job for a plasterer. We give you upfront pricing based on the size of the area before the visit.
