Sometimes you are not sure what is up there. You might hear noises at night, notice a smell or see a stain on the ceiling, but nothing obvious from the ground. A roof cavity inspection in Bridgeman Downs gives you a clear answer before you decide on any other work. We give you an upfront price for the inspection and book a local crew.
The crew we book goes up through the manhole and works through the roof space as far as the framing allows. They look at the insulation, the timbers, the sarking and the wiring for signs of animals. Then they walk around the outside of the house to match what they saw inside with gaps along the roof line. They look for:
- Nests, tracks and flattened insulation
- Droppings and urine stains
- Chewed wiring, timbers or sarking
- Gaps at eaves, ridge capping, vents and roof joins
- Signs of rats or mice as well as possums
At the end, the crew tells you what they found, whether an animal is still living in the roof and what work would fix it. You get a price for anything they suggest, and nothing goes ahead unless you say yes. Photos of the roof space can often be shown to you on the spot so you can see the problem for yourself.
An inspection is a sensible first step if you have just bought a home in Bridgeman Downs, if the noises have stopped and you want to check the roof is clear, or if you are not sure whether it is a possum or a rat. It takes about an hour for most homes. Call 07 3543 7768 to book a time.
