A possum that has lived in your roof for a few weeks leaves a fair mess. Droppings pile up along its paths and near the nest, leaves and twigs get dragged in, and insulation is torn and flattened. In homes around Victoria Point, that mess usually sits right above bedrooms and living rooms, and it is where most of the smell comes from.
The crew we book clears the roof cavity by hand and with a vacuum built for roof work. They move along the joists, around downlights and into the tight corners near the eaves, bagging everything as they go. The bags are carried out through the manhole and taken off the property, so nothing is left behind in your roof or your bin. The manhole area is wiped down before the crew packs up.
- Droppings cleared from nests, paths and corners
- Leaves, sticks and nesting material removed
- Torn insulation gathered and bagged
- Drop sheets laid under the manhole
- Everything bagged and taken away
A clean-up makes the most sense once the possum is out and the gap is closed, so the roof stays clean. Many people book it on the same visit as removal and sealing. If the insulation under the nest is badly soaked, the crew may suggest replacing that section, and they will price it before starting.
After a clean-up, most homes smell noticeably better within a few days, and even more so if the roof is also deodorised. To book a roof cavity clean-up in Victoria Point, call 07 3543 7768 and let us have a rough idea of how long the possum has been living up there.
