Not every noise in the roof is a possum, and not every possum is still there. A possum inspection gives you a clear answer before you book any work. It suits homes in the Inner North where the noise comes and goes, where there is a smell but no sound, or where you have just moved in and want to see what is in the roof. It also helps when you are not sure whether the sound is a possum, a rat or just the roof moving as it cools at night.
The crew we book goes into the roof space with torches and checks the insulation, beams and edges. Then they walk the outside roof line and look at the trees and fences near the house. They look for:
- A nest or crushed patch in the insulation
- Fresh or old droppings and urine stains
- Rub marks, fur and scratches around gaps
- Signs of rats or mice, such as gnawed cables
- Branches, vines or wires that reach the roof
Once the inspection is done, the crew explains what they found in plain terms and shows you photos where they can. If there is a possum or rodent problem, they tell you what work would help and give you a price. You can book the work on the day or take time to think about it. If nothing is living there, you still get a clear picture of the gaps to keep an eye on.
An inspection is also handy after storm season, when tiles and iron can shift. To book a possum inspection in the Inner North, call 07 3543 7770. We will give you an upfront price and a time with a nearby crew.
