Possum proofing is about closing up the gaps before a possum finds them, or after one has been cleared from the roof. Homes in Birkdale are close to bushland and big gum trees, so possums are never far away. A roof that has been cleared but not proofed can end up with a new possum in it within weeks.
When you call, we ask about the age of the home, the roof type and any spots where you have seen possums climbing. We give you upfront pricing and book a local team. The crew we book walks the whole roofline and looks for loose tiles, cracked ridge capping, gaps at the eaves, open vents, gaps around pipes and solar panel mounts, and spots where the gutter meets the roof.
Each weak spot is covered with sturdy mesh, sheet metal or a fitted cover that suits the roof. The aim is to make the house hard to get into, without blocking roof ventilation or gutters. Covers are shaped to blend in with the roof as much as possible. If a possum is still living in the roof, a one way door is fitted first and the proofing is finished once the space is clear. The crew will show you the spots they covered so you can keep an eye on them after big storms.
