Getting a possum out of the roof solves half the problem. The other half is closing the gap it used to get in, since possums tend to return to a roof they have used before if the entry point is left open. In Northside, that gap is often around the ridge capping, a broken vent cover or a spot where old eaves have pulled away from the wall.
The crew we book checks the whole roofline from the ground and then from inside the roof cavity, looking for every place a possum could get in, not just the obvious hole. Homes across Northside vary a lot, from older Queenslanders with timber eaves to newer brick and rendered builds with tighter rooflines, so the proofing work is different for each one.
Once the gaps are found, the crew seals them with materials suited to the spot, whether that is mesh over a vent, a repair to a broken eave or capping around a pipe. You get the price for this work before it starts. Ask about pairing this with other work while the crew is already on site, since sorting more than one thing on the same visit can save a second trip out. You are welcome to ask as many questions as you like about what the visit will cover before deciding whether to go ahead.
