Possum proofing is about closing the gaps before a possum finds them, or after one has been cleared out of the roof. A possum can fit through a surprisingly small opening, roughly the size of a tennis ball, so a single cracked tile or a bent sheet of iron can be enough. Homes in Nundah with big trees nearby or a fence line running close to the roof are the most likely to get visits.
The crew we book walks the whole roofline and checks it from inside the ceiling as well. They look at ridge capping, valleys, eaves, fascia boards, roof vents, gutters and any spot where a pipe, cable or aerial passes through the roof. Each gap is sealed with materials that suit the roof, such as mesh, flashing or new mortar, so it stays closed through wet summers and windy storms.
Proofing often makes sense straight after possum removal, but plenty of people book it on its own. If you have just moved into an older house, had a storm lift some tiles, or can hear possums on the roof but not yet in it, a proofing visit can close things off before the problem moves inside. The crew will point out anything they cannot seal on the day and explain why before they leave.
