Not every noise in the ceiling turns out to be a possum. A possum roof inspection is for when you want to find out what is going on before you commit to any work. It suits kippa Ring homeowners who hear the odd thump, notice a new smell or see a mark on the ceiling and want a clear answer.
The crew we book looks at the roof from both sides. Inside, they check the insulation, the tops of the walls and the corners of the roof space for droppings, fur, urine stains and nesting material. Outside, they walk the roof line or check it from a ladder, looking at eaves, valleys, ridge caps, vents and any spot where a newer extension joins the older roof.
- Roof space checked for droppings, stains and nesting signs
- Eaves, gutters and fascia checked for gaps and rub marks
- Ridge caps, valleys and loose tiles noted
- Overhanging branches and easy climbing paths pointed out
- A plain run-down of what was found and the price for any work
If the crew finds a possum, they can often start the removal and proofing on the same visit, so you do not need a second booking. If they find no sign of one, you still come away with a list of gaps that would be worth closing before a possum finds them. Sounds such as metal sheets ticking as they cool at night are also common, and the crew can tell you if that is all it is.
