Ridge capping runs along the top of the roof where two roof planes meet, and it is one of the most common spots a possum uses to get into a roof cavity in Aspley. Over time the cement or screws holding ridge capping in place can loosen, especially on older homes, leaving a gap wide enough for a possum to push through without much effort.
The crew we book checks the full length of the ridge line, not just the section nearest where the noise has been heard, since a loose cap further along can be just as easy an entry point. Where the capping has lifted or cracked, it can be resealed or refixed so it sits flush against the roofline again, matching the rest of the ridge.
This work is usually done once the possum has moved out of the cavity, either as a stand-alone job or alongside a wider proofing visit for a home in Aspley with more than one weak spot along the roof. Tile roofs tend to need this kind of check more often than metal roofs, since the capping sits on a mortar bed that can crack with age.
