Older homes on timber stumps or with an open subfloor are common across Beenleigh, and a possum will sometimes use the subfloor rather than the roof, especially where there is a gap in the skirting or lattice around the base of the house. The noise from a subfloor job usually sounds like it is coming from below the floor rather than above the ceiling, and it can be harder to place than a roof cavity job.
When you call about a subfloor issue, we ask about the type of foundation the house has, whether there is lattice or skirting around the base and where the noise seems to be loudest. That helps the crew we book plan the visit before a local team comes out to Beenleigh to check the subfloor area and the gaps around it.
Once the entry point is confirmed, whether that is a gap in the lattice, a broken skirting board or an opening near a service pipe, a one-way door is fitted over it and the surrounding gaps are sealed. Subfloor proofing tends to involve more linear metres of lattice or skirting than a roof job, so the visit can take a little longer.

Older subfloors with dirt rather than concrete flooring can also show paw prints or disturbed soil near the entry point, which helps confirm exactly where the gap is before anything gets fitted for the visit.
