Not every noise in the roof is a possum. It could be rats, mice, a loose sheet moving in the wind or pipes ticking as they cool. A roof noise inspection gives you a clear answer before you pay for any other work. We give you upfront pricing for the inspection and book a nearby independent crew that works on homes around Ripley.
The crew starts outside, walking the roof line and checking eaves, gutters, vents and nearby trees. Then they go up through the manhole and look along the edges of the roof space, where animals tend to travel and nest. They also check around downlights and the ceiling above the kitchen, where warm air rises. Droppings, rub marks, chewed cables and flattened insulation all tell them what has been living there and for how long.
- Outside check of the roof line and trees
- Roof space check through the manhole
- Signs sorted into possum, rat or mouse activity
- Entry points marked and explained
- A price for any removal, sealing or cleanup you want
At the end of the visit the crew explains what they found in plain terms. If it is a possum, they talk through one-way doors and proofing. If it is rats or mice, they talk through rodent removal and proofing. You can go ahead there and then, book the work for later, or leave it with the notes you have been given. There is no pressure to book anything extra on the day.
