Odour Removal in Tugun deals with the smell that can hang around long after a possum has gone. Possum urine has a strong, musky smell that soaks into ceiling plaster, timber beams and insulation. Near the coast, the warm, damp air makes it worse, and the smell can drift into bedrooms and living areas through cornices, downlights and exhaust fans.
The crew we book first finds where the urine has soaked in. Stains on the ceiling below give a good guide, and dark patches on the timber above show the heaviest spots. Droppings are cleared from those areas so the treatment can reach the stained material. An odour treatment is then sprayed directly onto the timber, the backs of the ceiling sheets and any insulation left in place.

In most homes the smell eases noticeably over the next few days as the treatment works and the roof airs out. In roofs where a possum lived for a long time, the crew may suggest lifting the worst insulation too. The stains on the painted side of the ceiling will not go away on their own, and some people choose to repaint once the smell is gone.
If the smell comes back strong, it can mean another possum has found a way in, and the crew can check the roofline. We book odour removal across Tugun with upfront pricing. Call 07 3543 7768, tell us which rooms smell the worst, and we will book a nearby crew.
