Roof cavity proofing is the next step once a possum has moved out of the roof space, and it is a big part of the work the crews we book handle across Coorparoo. The idea is simple: go over the whole roofline and close off every gap that could let something back in, not just the one spot that was used the first time.
The crew checks lifted or cracked tiles, gaps around plumbing and vent pipes, loose ridge caps, and any weak points where the roof meets the walls. On older highset Coorparoo homes this often means more gaps to check, since timber rooflines move and settle over the years in ways that brick homes tend not to. Each gap gets sealed with material suited to that part of the roof, from mesh over vent openings to sealant along tile lines.
Because this work happens after the roof cavity is already clear, there is no need to fit a door at this stage, just close up what is there. The crew works from the roof exterior and the manhole access point rather than moving through the ceiling space itself. Booking this step in for a Coorparoo home once the roof cavity is confirmed clear means the gaps are dealt with in one visit rather than being left for another season, and most jobs across Coorparoo finish within a single visit once the roofline has been checked in full.
