Highset homes across Coorparoo often have open space underneath the house as well as a roof cavity above, and a possum can use either one if the gap is wide enough. Subfloor proofing deals with the underneath side of the house, checking the skirting, lattice and any gaps around stumps or piers where an animal could get in.
The crew walks the full perimeter underneath the house, noting any lattice panels that have come loose, gaps in skirting boards, or open sections where stored items have been moved and left a way through. Where the subfloor connects up toward the roof cavity through a gap in the wall line, this gets checked as part of the same visit as wall cavity clearance.
Sealing work underneath uses the same approach as the roof: close the gaps once the space is confirmed clear, using material suited to skirting, lattice and stump lines rather than roof tiles or vents. This is worth mentioning when you call if your Coorparoo home is a highset build with open space underneath. Older lattice panels tend to warp or come away from their fixings after a few years in the weather, which is usually the first place the crew checks when a subfloor gap is the likely cause of noise around the base of the house.
