Once a possum has been living in the roof, it leaves a mess behind. Droppings pile up in the spots it sleeps, urine soaks into the insulation and ceiling boards, and nesting material builds up around the entry point. In Inner Brisbane, where many homes have older insulation and timber ceilings, this can lead to stains, a strong smell and ceiling boards that sag over time. We take the details and book a nearby independent crew who handles roof cavity clean-ups.
The crew we book goes into the ceiling space wearing protective gear and removes droppings, nesting material and insulation that has been soiled. The waste is bagged and taken away. Heavily soiled insulation may need to be replaced, and the crew will tell you how much is affected and give upfront pricing before they start. Access through the manhole is usually enough, but tight roof spaces may take longer. They can also treat the area with an odour treatment to help with the smell.
A clean-up works well after possum removal and roof sealing are done, so there is no chance of fresh mess. It can also be booked for older Inner Brisbane homes where a past possum problem has left the roof space dirty. Rat and mouse droppings can be cleaned up at the same time. Stained ceilings may still need a painter or plasterer once the roof space is clean.
