Possum Proofing in Tugun closes up a roof so possums have nowhere to get in. It is often booked straight after a possum has been removed, but plenty of people book it on its own after a storm, before selling, or when they have noticed a gap and want it dealt with before anything moves in.
The crew we book starts at one corner of the house and works around the whole roofline. They check the eaves, the fascia, the barge boards, the ridge caps, the valleys and the points where pipes, cables and vents pass through. Salt air near the beach rusts old flashing and fixings, and the timber on older cottages shrinks and warps over the years, so there are often more gaps than you would expect.
- Whole roofline checked from ladders and the roof itself
- Galvanised mesh fitted over gaps at the eaves and roof ends
- Flashing folded to fit gaps where the roof meets the fascia
- Timber offcuts used for larger holes in old eaves
- Mesh collars around pipes, cables and aerial mounts
Before sealing, the crew makes sure no possum is inside. Sealing a possum into the roof leads to more damage as it tries to get out, so if there is any sign of one still living there, a one-way door goes on first. The crew takes photos of the sealed spots so you can see what was done.
Proofing pairs well with tree branch trimming, since a possum that cannot get in may still use the roof as a walkway if branches reach it. We book proofing across Tugun with upfront pricing. Call 07 3543 7768, tell us about the house and roof, and we will book a nearby crew.
