Possums love to nest in roof insulation, because it is soft and warm. Over time, the patch they use becomes flattened, stained and soaked with urine. That patch holds onto the smell and no longer keeps your home in Victoria Point cooler in summer or warmer in winter. Insulation replacement takes out the damaged sections and puts new batts in their place.
The crew we book lays drop sheets under the manhole, then lifts out the soiled batts or loose-fill from the nest site and the main paths. The old material is bagged in the roof cavity and carried out. Once the area has been cleaned and, if you choose, deodorised, new batts are laid in to cover the gaps.

Replacement is usually limited to the parts of the roof that are badly affected, so you are not paying to swap out insulation that is still in good shape. The crew will show you what they found and suggest which sections need replacing, with a price for each.
This job pairs well with a clean-up and deodorising, and it makes the most sense after the possum is out and the gap closed, so the new insulation stays clean. To book insulation replacement in Victoria Point, call 07 3543 7768 and tell us roughly how long the possum was in your roof.
