When a possum or rats have lived in a roof for a while, the insulation takes most of the damage. Batts and loose-fill soak up urine, fill with droppings and get flattened under nests. In the humid climate around Redcliffe, soiled insulation holds smell and can grow mould. It also stops doing its job, so rooms below can feel hotter in summer.
The crew we book checks how much of the insulation is affected before giving you a price. Sometimes only a few patches around the nest need to come out. In other roofs, the whole space is soiled. You get upfront pricing and a clear picture before any work starts.
- Soiled batts or loose-fill bagged in the roof
- Bags taken out through the manhole
- Droppings and dust vacuumed from the ceiling
- Roof space left clean for new insulation
- Waste removed from the property
The crew wears masks and protective clothing and lays drop sheets under the manhole so dust does not spread through the house. They work around downlights, cables and ducting and point out any damage they find along the way, such as chewed wiring or ceiling plaster that has gone soft from urine.
With the old insulation out, it is a good time to seal the roof and treat any odours, so the new insulation stays clean. The crew we book can do both on the same visit. If you plan to have new insulation fitted, the crew can tell you what to ask an installer. Tell us the size of the home and how long the animals were in the roof.
