Spinning roof turbines and other vents sit on roofs all over Logan, letting hot air out of the roof space. Many homes have two or three of them. They do a good job in a Queensland summer, but the base they sit on can work loose over time. Once the flashing lifts or the base shifts, a gap opens up around it, and a possum can push straight through into the roof.
The crew we book checks each turbine and roof vent on your home. They look at the base, the flashing, the fixings and the vent itself. Where a turbine has seized or been damaged in a storm, there is often a gap that a possum has already found. Exhaust outlets through the roof are checked at the same time.
- Turbine bases and flashing
- Seized or damaged turbines
- Gaps around other roof vents
- Exhaust outlets through the roof
- Mesh fitted under the throat of the vent where needed
Proofing usually means fitting sturdy galvanised mesh under the throat of the turbine, so air still moves but a possum cannot get through. The mesh holds up to sun and rain. Loose bases are re-secured and any gaps in the flashing are closed. If a turbine is past saving, the crew will say so and you can decide whether to have it replaced.
Roof vents are easy to overlook because you cannot see the base from the ground. If the noise in your roof seems to centre on one spot, a vent near it is a good place to look. Tell us how many roof vents you have when you call. For roof vent proofing in Logan, call 07 3543 7767. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby crew.
