Once a possum is out of the roof, the gap it used to get in is still there, and another possum can find the same spot within weeks. Proofing closes that gap with mesh, flashing or timber, matched to the type of gap and the roofline it sits on. In Albany Creek that might mean a lifted ridge cap on an older tile roof, a gap around a roof vent on a newer estate, or a space where an extension meets the original roofline.
The crew works through the roof from the outside where access allows, checking ridge caps, gable ends, gaps around the fascia, broken or slipped tiles and any spot where pipes or cables pass through the roof. Each weak point gets covered with material that holds up to weather, fitted so the roof still has normal airflow. A roof with several weak spots often needs more than one area proofed on the same visit, which the crew can price for you before starting.
Homes across Albany Creek range from older houses near the South Pine River with ageing flashing to newer estates with sealed eaves, and each roof type has its own common weak spots. The crew checks the whole roof rather than just the section a possum was using, since a roof with one gap often has a second one nearby that has not been found yet.
Blocks close to Bunyaville forest tend to need a wider check, since branches overhanging the roofline can give a possum more than one way onto the house.
