Getting a possum out is only half the job. If the gaps it used are left open, another possum will usually find them. In Logan, with so much bushland and so many big trees close to homes, a roof with open gaps seldom stays empty for long. Possum proofing is about closing those gaps so your roof is no longer an easy place to live.
The crew we book walks the whole roof line and checks the roof space from inside. They look at ridge capping, cracked or shifted tiles, valleys, gutters, fascia boards, vents, roof turbines and every join where two roof sections meet. On two-storey homes they check both the upper and lower roof. They also note any branches that hang over the roof and give possums a way up.
- Ridge capping and roof tiles
- Gaps behind gutters and fascia
- Vents, roof turbines and other fittings
- Joins between roof sections and walls
- Pipe and cable openings
- Branches that give possums access
Gaps are closed with galvanised mesh, metal sheeting or purpose-made fittings, chosen to suit the spot and the roof. The aim is a neat finish that holds up to Queensland weather and to a possum trying to get back in. You get a plain list of what was sealed, and the crew will point out anything that needs a different trade, such as rotted timber. Every sealed point is shown to you if you ask.
Proofing is often done on the same visit as removal, but it can be booked on its own if you have had possums before or want to get ahead of the problem. We give you upfront pricing on the phone, based on the size and type of your roof. For possum proofing in Logan, call 07 3543 7767 and we will book a local team.
