A possum that has lived in a roof for weeks or months leaves plenty behind. Droppings build up around the den and along the paths it uses. Urine soaks into the insulation and can stain the ceiling below. In older homes in Clayfield, where the roof space may not have been touched for decades, the mess can spread across a large area.
Once the possum is out and the roof is sealed, the crew we book can clean up the ceiling space. They gather droppings by hand and with a vacuum made for dusty roof spaces, bag them and take them away. Insulation batts that are soaked or heavily soiled can be lifted out and bagged as well. The crew will tell you which areas need new insulation so you can arrange it or ask us about it.
A cleanup is a good idea before you replace a stained ceiling, add new insulation or put in downlights, since it gives the trades a clean space to work in. It also helps with any smell that lingers after the roof has been proofed.
