Once a possum has been living in a roof for a while, it usually leaves more behind than a few gaps in the eaves. Droppings build up in one corner, insulation gets flattened or pushed aside, and there can be a smell that lingers even after the possum has moved on. This is where roof cavity cleaning comes in for homes across Northside.
The crew we book clears out droppings and any nesting material left behind, and checks the insulation to see whether it has been matted down or pushed out of place. In older Northside homes with loose-fill insulation this is a common finding, while newer homes with batts usually need less work in this area.
Once the roof cavity has been gone over, the crew can talk you through what they found, including any spots that may need extra attention such as a stain on the ceiling sheet from droppings sitting in one place for a long time. You get a price for the cleaning before it starts. 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.
