A wall cavity job is a little different from a roof cavity, since the possum has usually dropped down from the roof space into the gap inside an external wall, most often where a weatherboard has come loose or a brick veneer wall has a gap near the top plate. Scratching that seems to come from inside a wall rather than the ceiling is the usual clue that this is what has happened in a Beenleigh home.
On the call we ask exactly where the noise is coming from, which wall and which part of the house, since that helps the crew we book work out whether the entry is happening at roof level and dropping down, or through a gap lower on the wall itself. A local team then comes out to Beenleigh to check both the roofline above the wall and the wall itself for gaps.
The fix uses the same pattern as a roof job: a one-way door over the entry point, whether that is at the top of the wall cavity or where it meets the roof, plus sealing of any other gaps in the weatherboard or brickwork nearby so the cavity cannot be used again.
- Call to pin down which wall and which part of the house
- Local team checks both the roofline and the wall cavity
- One-way door fitted at the entry point
- Sealing of gaps in weatherboard or brick veneer nearby
- Upfront pricing given before the visit is booked
A quick check of the area either side of the confirmed gap is worth doing at the same visit, since a wall cavity with one weak spot sometimes has a second one nearby that has not been used yet.
