Once a possum has moved out, the job is not over. The gaps it used are still there, and possums in the Centenary suburbs are never far away. Possum proofing closes those gaps so the next possum cannot get in. We book possum proofing across Middle Park with an independent crew that works nearby, and you get upfront pricing on the call.
The crew we book walks the whole roof line and looks for any opening a possum could push through. On brick homes with tiled roofs, the usual spots are cracked or slipped tiles, gaps under the ridge capping, spaces where tiles sit above the gutter and open vents. Pergolas, carports and patio roofs joined to the house often hide gaps at the join. A possum does not need much room, so small openings count. They also note branches or fences that act as a ladder onto the roof.
Each gap is closed with the right material for the spot, whether that is galvanised mesh, sheet metal, flashing or a new tile. The roof still needs to breathe and drain, so vents are covered with mesh rather than blocked. If a possum is still inside, a one-way door goes on first, and the last gap is sealed once it has left.
