Not every noise in the ceiling is a possum. It could be rats, mice, the roof moving as it cools, or even a pipe. A roof space inspection gives you a clear answer. The crew we book goes up through the manhole with a torch, checks the full roof space and then looks at the roof line from outside. For homes in Western Brisbane with big, old roof cavities, this can take a while, but it saves guessing.
An inspection is also useful when you have just bought a house, before new insulation goes in, or when you are planning solar panels or ducted air. It shows what state the roof space is in and whether anything has been living there.
- Droppings, nests and urine stains
- Flattened, torn or soiled insulation
- Chew marks on cables, pipes and ducting
- Gaps under eaves, cracked capping and loose sheets
- Photos of anything worth a closer look
At the end of the visit the crew tells you what they found and what they suggest. If a possum is living there, they can often move on to removal and sealing the same day if you agree to the price. If it is rats or mice, they can set up baits and traps. If nothing is living there, you have photos and a list of gaps to watch.
We give you upfront pricing for the inspection before the visit. Tell us where the manhole is, especially if it is in a wardrobe or high ceiling. To book a roof space inspection in Western Brisbane, call 07 3543 7769 and we will line up a local crew.
