Proofing is the next step once a possum has been dealt with, and it is the part of the job that keeps a roof from having the same problem again in a few months. A Beenleigh home that has had one possum in the roof often has more than one weak point in the roofline, so proofing looks at the whole roof rather than just the spot that was already found.
The crew we book checks flashing, ridge capping, gable vents, whirlybirds, gutter lines and anywhere an extension or a carport meets the main roof, since these joins are where gaps tend to open up over time as a house settles or materials age. A local team working in Beenleigh will usually walk the full roofline rather than only the section near the original entry point.
Any gap wide enough for a possum to get a paw into gets sealed, using mesh, flashing or timber depending on where it is and what the roof is made of. Vents and whirlybirds get proper covers rather than being sealed shut entirely, since airflow through the roof still needs to happen.
- Full check of the roofline, not just the original entry point
- Sealing of gaps around flashing, ridge capping and gable ends
- Covers fitted to vents and whirlybirds so airflow is not blocked
- Checks around carports and extensions where rooflines join
- Upfront pricing before proofing work is booked
On an older Beenleigh roof, this proofing pass can take longer than a single removal visit, since more of the roofline usually needs a closer look before every gap has been accounted for and sealed.
