After weeks or months of a possum living in the roof, the roof space is left dirty. There are droppings along the beams, urine soaked into timbers and insulation, and piles of leaves and nest material. In the humid summers around Redcliffe, this can smell and draw in flies. It can also stain the ceiling below over time.
The crew we book goes into the roof in masks, gloves and overalls. They remove droppings and nest material by hand and with an industrial vacuum, working around cables, downlights and ducting. Once the mess is gone, the soiled areas are treated with a sanitising spray made for roof spaces. Drop sheets go down under the manhole so dust stays out of the house.
- Droppings and nest material cleared from the roof space
- Urine-soaked timber and plaster treated
- Heavily soiled insulation bagged and removed
- Area under the manhole covered and cleaned
- All waste taken away from the property
Cleaning the roof space also gives a clearer view of any damage. With the mess gone, the crew can spot chewed cables, stained plaster and gaps that were hard to see before. They point these out so you can decide on next steps, whether that is sealing, an electrician or a plasterer.
Sanitising is often booked on the same visit as a removal or proofing. It pairs well with odour removal, since clearing the source takes away most of the smell. Tell us roughly how long the possum was in the roof and the size of the home, and we will give you upfront pricing for your home in Redcliffe. Call 07 3543 7772 to book.
