Sometimes a house is mostly tight and the possum is using just one or two gaps. Entry point sealing targets those spots without the cost of proofing the whole roof. Around Buderim, common examples include a corner where the gutter has dropped away from the fascia, a gap behind a downpipe, a broken tile at the edge of the roof, or a hole where a new cable was run into the house.
The crew we book finds these gaps by reading the signs. Possums leave dark greasy marks on timber where they squeeze through, scratch paint off fascia boards and leave hair on rough edges. Inside the roof, a worn path in the insulation often leads straight to the entry point. The crew also looks for daylight coming in around the eaves. On two-storey homes they check the lower roof too.
Each gap is sealed in a way that suits it. Small gaps get packed galvanised mesh. Larger holes get a shaped metal plate screwed in place. Pipes and cables get mesh collars. The crew keeps the finish tidy and makes sure the roof can still breathe, which matters in humid coastal weather. They show you each sealed spot before they leave.
- Gutter corners pulled away from the fascia
- Gaps behind downpipes and around plumbing
- Broken or loose tiles at the roof edge
- New cable and pipe holes
- Joins where a deck or patio roof meets the house
Sealing is done once the possum is out of the roof, or after a one-way door has done its job. We give you upfront pricing on the phone before anything is booked. To book entry point sealing in Buderim, call 07 3543 7772.
