A possum living in a roof space for a while can leave behind more than noise. Chewed cabling, torn ceiling insulation, marked ceiling linings and scratched timber are common once the space has been used as shelter for a season, and it is not always obvious from inside the house until the ceiling is checked. Possum damage repairs in Petrie start once the roof space has been confirmed clear.
The crew we book looks at what needs replacing rather than treating every roof the same way, since some damage is cosmetic and some affects the safety of the roof space, such as chewed wiring near a light fitting or a beam. Ceiling marks from droppings or urine are cleaned or the lining is replaced where the mark has soaked through and will not come out with a clean.
Repairs across Petrie properties are usually booked once sealing and proofing are also underway, so the roof space is fixed and closed off in the same visit rather than being repaired and then left open to the same possum, or a new one, moving straight back in through the same gap. Getting the repair and the sealing done together tends to work out simpler than treating them as two separate jobs.
