Sometimes the noise is not above you but beside you. A possum moving through a roof can slip down into the gap between the inside and outside walls, and once it is there you hear scratching and scrabbling at head height. Wall cavity possum removal in kippa Ring deals with that tricky spot.
The crew we book first works out whether the possum can still climb up and out. Many can, and simply use the cavity as a quiet place to sleep during the day. In that case the crew finds where the cavity opens into the roof space and sets up a one-way path out through the roof. If the possum has dropped too far and cannot climb, the crew may need to open a small access point, which they talk through with you before doing anything.
- Noise traced along the wall to find the section the possum is in
- Upper edge of the wall checked from inside the roof space
- A one-way exit set up through the roof where possible
- Any small access point discussed with you first, then covered
- Roof entry points sealed so the cavity is not reached again
Brick veneer homes, which are common across the peninsula, have a cavity between the brick and the frame that possums can use. Older weatherboard and fibro homes have different gaps where the wall meets the roof frame. The crew checks what type of wall you have and where it meets the roof before they start.
