Removing one possum only solves part of the problem if the roof has other gaps. Possums leave scent where they go, and a house that has had one in the roof tends to attract the next. Roof possum proofing goes beyond the gap in use and seals every likely way in. For homes in Wavell Heights with extensions, raised floors and old tiled roofs, it is often the most useful job you can book.
The crew we book goes around the full roof, looking at ridge capping, valleys, the edges of tiles and iron, fascia boards, eaves, gable vents and every join where one roof meets another. They check where pipes, cables and solar panel mounts pass through the roof too. Gaps are sealed with the material that suits each spot, whether that is mesh, flashing, sheet metal or a flexible sealant for small cracks.
Proofing can be done on the same visit as the removal work or booked on its own. Many people choose to do it straight after the one-way door comes off, while the crew is already up on the roof and the ladders are set up. It also means one clear price for the full job rather than a string of small call-outs.
