Possums are creatures of habit. Once one finds a way into a roof, it uses that same gap night after night, and the edges soon show it. Entry point sealing is the job of tracking down that gap and closing it once the possum is out. For many homes in Victoria Point, it is the single most useful step.
The crew we book looks for the telltale signs at the gap. These include dark, greasy rub marks on timber or sheeting, fur caught on edges, scratch marks on the fascia and a well-worn path through the insulation just inside. They also check where branches, vines, fences or power lines meet the house, as these are the possum's ladder up.
- The main way in found from inside and outside
- The roof cavity checked clear before the gap is closed
- The gap closed with mesh, flashing, sealant or new fasteners
- Nearby weak spots checked in case the possum tries them next
- Photos of the finished seal where possible
The fix depends on the spot. A gap under a gutter might need a strip of mesh tucked and sealed. A broken ridge cap might need rebedding. A gap around a pipe or cable might need a mesh collar. The crew will explain what they plan to do before they start.
Entry point sealing is usually done on the same visit as possum removal, and any extra gaps are priced separately so you can choose. To book entry point sealing in Victoria Point, call 07 3543 7768 and we will find a time for the crew to come out.
