Sometimes the noise is not in the ceiling at all but inside a wall. Scratching and thumping between the rooms, often low down or near a corner, usually means a possum has slipped into the wall cavity from the roof space or through a gap under the eaves. We take these calls from across Morayfield, give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew.
Wall cavities are harder to read than an open roof, so the crew we book spends time tracing the route in. They check the roof space above the wall, look along the eaves and fascia, and look for gaps around pipes, electricity boxes, air conditioning lines and cladding joins. In brick veneer homes, the gap between the brick and the frame is a common path from the roof down the wall.
Once the entry in use is found, a one-way door goes over it and every other gap along that part of the house is sealed with mesh, flashing or sealant. When the cavity is clear, the door comes off and the final gap is closed and proofed. The crew does not cut open walls unless you agree to it first.
