Removing a possum from the roof is only half the job. If the gap it used to get in is not sealed, another possum can move into the same spot within a few weeks, sometimes within days if the weather turns cold. Possum proofing in Aspley is the next step, done once the roof cavity is clear, to close off the entry point and any other weak spots nearby before the roofline becomes an easy option again.
The crew we book walks the full roofline looking for lifted tiles, gaps around vents, loose ridge capping and any spot where a pipe or cable enters the roof. Each of these can be an easy way in, especially on older homes in Aspley where the roofline has not been checked in years. Sealing them properly means using materials that hold up to weather, not a quick patch that comes loose again after the next storm.
Homes built at different times tend to have different weak spots, so the crew looks at the whole roof rather than just the one gap that was used. Tile roofs, metal roofs and roofs with a mix of both each have their own common trouble spots, and checking the right ones first speeds up the visit without missing anything.
That way, the proofing work covers more than the immediate problem, and gives the roofline a general once-over rather than a single patch job, so fewer visits are needed down the track.
