Scratching low down in a wall, or a sliding sound behind the plaster, often means a possum has found its way into a wall cavity. They get in from the roof void, through brick vents, or through gaps where cladding meets the eaves. We take the call, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew that deals with wall cavity jobs around Flagstone.
The crew listens with you and then works out how the possum is reaching the wall. They check the roof void directly above, the outside wall and any vents or gaps near the noise. In brick veneer homes, the gap is often where the wall frame meets the roof. In homes with lightweight cladding, it may be a split board, a corner gap or a missing vent cover.
- Noise traced from inside and outside
- One-way door fitted over the gap in use
- Brick vents covered with mesh
- Roof void gaps above the wall closed
- Return visit to take the door off and seal the entry
Wall cavity jobs can take a little longer, since the crew may need to check several vents along the same wall. Once the wall has gone quiet for a few nights, the crew comes back, takes the door off and closes the entry with mesh, flashing or sealant. Nearby gaps are sealed at the same time. The crew will not seal a wall gap while there is still noise inside.
