Small gaps around eaves, roof vents and pipe or cable penetrations rarely look like much on their own, but they are one of the more common ways a possum gets into a roof cavity, especially on older homes in Runcorn. Call 07 3543 7769 to book a check, and a local crew will look at every one of these spots rather than just the largest gap.
Roof vents are checked for mesh or covers that have come loose or rusted through, pipe penetrations are checked where the original sealant has shrunk or cracked with age, and eave gaps are checked along the full length of the roofline rather than just near the confirmed entry point. Any of these can become a new way in even after the main gap has been sealed.
Once the roof cavity in Runcorn is confirmed clear, all of these smaller gaps are closed off at the same time as the main entry point, using materials suited to the roof and wall type. The aim is to leave the roofline without any obvious weak spots left over, rather than closing the one gap and leaving several smaller ones for a possum to find later on down the track.
- A check of roof vents for loose or rusted mesh and covers
- Resealing of pipe and cable penetrations where old sealant has worn away
- A check of eave gaps along the full roofline
- Sealing of every confirmed gap at the same visit
- A final walk around the property before the crew leaves
