A Roof Cavity Clean-Up in Gold Coast deals with what a possum leaves behind. A possum that has lived in a roof for a few months can leave piles of droppings, patches of urine-soaked insulation and nests of shredded leaves and paper. In humid weather, this causes a sharp smell that seeps into the rooms below and brown stains that spread across the ceiling.
The crew we book wears masks and gloves and works through the roof space section by section. Droppings and nest material are bagged and taken away. Insulation that is badly soaked may be lifted and bagged too, and the crew will point out any patches you may want to replace later. Stained timber and the backs of the ceiling sheets are then sprayed with an odour treatment.
- Droppings and nest material bagged and removed
- Badly soiled insulation lifted from the worst patches
- Odour treatment on stained beams and ceiling backs
- Check for any animal still using the roof
- Photos before and after where access allows
A clean-up is usually booked after the possum has gone and the gaps are sealed, so the roof stays clean. It can be added to the second visit of a removal job, or booked on its own if a possum was removed some time ago and the smell has hung around. The amount of work depends on how long the possum was there, how many spots it used and how easy the roof is to move around in.
Low-pitched roofs with little headroom take longer, and the crew will tell you on the day if any area is too tight to reach. Clean-ups are booked across Gold Coast with upfront pricing. Call 07 3543 7769, tell us roughly how long the possum was in the roof, and we will book a local team.
