A roof cavity inspection is a good first step when you hear something overhead but are not sure what it is. Possums, rats and mice all sound different, but at two in the morning they can be hard to tell apart. An inspection shows what is up there, how it is getting in and what the damage looks like, so you can decide what to do.
The crew we book goes into the roof space with a torch and checks every section they can get to. They look for droppings, urine stains, flattened or moved insulation, fur on beams and chewed cables. From outside, they check the eaves, gutters, vents, gable ends and any trees or vines that reach the roof. Homes in Sunnybank with extensions or second-storey additions get extra attention where the old and new roofs meet.
After the check, the crew walks you through what they found. They may suggest possum removal, proofing, a rat and mouse treatment or a clean-up. Sometimes the answer is that the roof is clear and the noise is coming from outside, which is good to find out too. Either way, you get a clear picture before spending money on work you may not need.
