Not sure whether you have a possum, a rat or something else in the ceiling? A possum roof inspection is a good first step. The crew we book checks your roof line from outside and the roof space from the manhole where it can be reached, looking for signs of possums and the gaps they use. In Toowong, older timber homes often have several gaps, so a proper check helps plan the work.
During the inspection, the crew looks for droppings, urine stains, flattened insulation, fur and grease marks around gaps. Possum droppings are larger than rat droppings and are often scattered along the wall plates and beams. They also note anything that needs sealing. The inspection usually covers:
- The roof line, eaves, gutters and ridge capping
- The roof space from the manhole, where it is reachable
- Signs of possums, rats or mice
- Entry points and weak spots worth sealing
- Photos and a plain explanation of what was found
After the inspection, the crew explains what they found and what they suggest, whether that is a one-way door, sealing, proofing or a clean-up of the roof space. We give you upfront pricing for any work before it is booked, and you decide whether to go ahead. An inspection is also useful if you have had possums before and want to check the old gaps are still closed. If the noises are coming from a wall rather than the roof, tell us so the crew can check that area too.
Clear a path to the manhole and keep pets inside on the day. To book a possum roof inspection in Toowong, call 07 3543 7764 for upfront pricing and a local crew.
