Once a possum has moved out of a roof cavity in Aspley, there is often nesting material, leaves and droppings left behind, which can hold a smell long after the possum itself has gone. Roof cavity clearing deals with that leftover mess so the space is not sitting there causing a smell or attracting anything else. It is usually booked together with a proofing visit, once the roofline gap has been found and the possum has moved on for good.
The crew we book gets into the cavity through the manhole or roof access point, clears out the nesting material and gives the area a general look over for any damage, such as chewed insulation or marks on the timber. Any droppings are cleared as part of the same visit, since leaving them can affect the smell in the rooms below and, over time, the ceiling itself.
Cavities in older Aspley homes can be tighter to move around in than newer builds, with lower clearances and more original timber, so the time this takes depends a bit on the roof itself, how long the possum had been settled in and how much material was left behind. Newer homes with more open roof trusses are usually quicker to work through.
