Proofing is what stops a possum problem turning into a yearly event. Homes across Buderim tend to have several weak spots, and a possum only needs one. Storms shift tiles, timber fascia shrinks in the heat, and the joins between old roofs and newer extensions open up over time. A gap the width of a small orange is enough for a brushtail to squeeze through.
The crew we book starts with a walk around the house and a look from inside the roof space. They mark each gap, from cracked ridge capping and lifted tiles to open gable vents, box gutters and holes around pipes and cables. You see the list, and the matching price, before they start. We give you upfront pricing for the likely work when you call, based on the size and type of house.
The materials are chosen to suit the roof. Galvanised mesh is folded and packed into gaps under tiles. Sheet metal is cut and shaped for larger openings and fixed with screws or rivets. Vents get mesh covers that keep air moving. On metal roofs, the crew uses foam or mesh strips along the corrugations where the roof meets the eaves.

Proofing can be done with removal or on its own once a roof is empty. It is also worth booking after a big storm, when tiles and flashing may have moved. To book possum proofing in Buderim, call 07 3543 7772 and we will line up a crew that works your area.
