A possum in the roof over Springfield usually gives itself away after dark, with scratching along the ceiling line or a thump near the manhole as it moves around. We book a local crew to come out, work through the roof space and find where the animal is sitting before doing anything else, since a rushed job in the wrong spot just means another callout later.
Once the possum is out of the roof, the crew checks the gap it was using to get in and tells you what it will take to close it up, whether that is a straightforward vent repair or a bigger job along the fascia. In Springfield the mix of newer estate roofs and older tiled homes means the entry point can be almost anywhere, so the check is done properly rather than guessed at.
- A full check of the roof space to confirm where the possum is and how it is getting in
- Steady handling of the animal itself, without chemicals used in the roof cavity
- A look at insulation, sarking and ceiling linings for damage from droppings or scratching
- Notes on any other gaps around the roofline worth closing at the same time
- A plan for proofing the entry point, booked separately or as part of the same visit
Possum activity in Springfield tends to move with the seasons, picking up through late winter and spring as animals look for a den to raise young in, then easing off over summer before a smaller autumn run as the weather cools again. Booking early once you hear the first scratching usually means a smaller job than waiting until droppings have built up or ceiling linings have started to sag.
The price for the visit is given over the phone before the crew is booked, so you see the cost before anyone drives out to Springfield. Call 07 3543 7767 to get a crew booked for your roof.
