Not sure what is making the noise? A roof cavity inspection gives you a clear answer before you spend money on anything else. Many noises sound alike from below, and the only way to be sure is to look. We book a local crew to come to your home in Bulimba, climb into the roof space and check it from end to end.
The crew looks for signs of possums and rats, such as droppings, urine stains, flattened insulation, nesting material and rub marks along beams. They also check the outside roof line for gaps, loose tiles and branches that give access. In older homes they also look at where the ceiling has sagged or where timber has been chewed. Things an inspection usually covers:
- Checking the roof space for nests, droppings and tracks
- Looking for stains and wet patches on the ceiling boards
- Finding entry points along the eaves, ridge and vents
- Checking insulation for damage or heavy soiling
- Photos of what was found, where the roof space allows
An inspection is useful if you have just moved in, if the noise has stopped and you want to check the roof is clear, or if you are not sure whether you are dealing with a possum or a rat. Many people in Bulimba book one after hearing noise for a night or two, before it becomes a bigger job.
At the end, the crew tells you what they found and what, if anything, needs doing. If you want work done then and there, they will give you a price for it first. To book an inspection, call 07 3543 7770 and we will find a time.
