Insulation that has been sat on, walked over or soiled by a possum or bird does not do its job as well as it should, and in some cases the smell alone is reason enough to have it looked at. This service covers checking and cleaning insulation in the roof cavity for homes across Northside where there has been possum or bird activity.
The crew we book checks how far the affected area spreads, since a possum moving around the roof cavity over several weeks can matt down insulation well beyond the spot it was nesting in. In Northside, loose-fill insulation in older homes tends to need more attention than batts in newer builds, which can often be lifted, cleaned underneath and put back.
Depending on the condition, the crew may set out options for spot cleaning, removal of the worst affected sections, or topping up insulation that has thinned out. You get a price for whichever option suits the job before any work begins. You are welcome to ask as many questions as you like about what the visit will cover before deciding whether to go ahead. The crew will also flag anything else worth keeping an eye on while they are up on the roof, even if it is not the original reason for the call. This means you get a proper look at the roof rather than a guess from the street, and a clear price before anything is booked in.
