Ceiling entry sealing closes the specific gap a possum was using to move between the roof and the rest of the house, along with any nearby weak points found during the roof check. This is different to full roof proofing, which covers the whole roofline, and suits homes in Northern Brisbane where only one or two clear entry points have been found.
The crew looks at where the ceiling meets the roof structure, around light fittings, exhaust fans, manholes and any gap where a wall cavity opens into the roof space. These spots can let a possum move from the roof into a wall cavity or ceiling space closer to living areas, which is usually where the noise sounds loudest at night. Sealing these gaps with the right material stops that movement without blocking access you need for maintenance.
Homes across Northern Brisbane vary in how the ceiling and roof structure line up, especially where a house has been extended or had a bathroom or laundry added later. The crew checks these join points closely, since they are common places for a gap to open up over time as the building settles.
- Gaps where the ceiling meets the roof structure checked and sealed
- Exhaust fan and light fitting surrounds checked for gaps
- Manhole and access points fitted so they still open properly
- Extension and addition join points checked closely
- Pricing given before sealing work starts
Sealing works alongside a roof cavity check, since the crew wants to be sure no possum is still inside before closing anything up. If a possum is still present, the crew clears the roof space first, then seals the entry point once it is safe to do so.
