Once a possum has moved out of a roof cavity, roof cavity proofing is the next step, and it makes up a big part of the work the crews we book handle across Tarragindi. Rather than closing just the one gap that was used, the crew goes over the whole roofline to catch any other weak spot that could let something back in later.
This means checking lifted or cracked tiles, gaps around plumbing and vent pipes, loose ridge caps, and any weak points where the roof meets the walls. Older Tarragindi homes tend to need more of this kind of check, since timber rooflines move and settle over the years in ways that newer brick and metal roofs do not. Each gap gets sealed with material suited to that part of the roof, from mesh over vent openings to sealant along tile lines.
Because this work happens once the roof cavity is already clear, there is no door to fit at this stage, just gaps to close. The crew works from the roof exterior and the manhole access point, and most Tarragindi jobs are wrapped up within the one visit once the roofline has been checked in full. Booking this step in once the roof cavity is confirmed clear means the gaps get dealt with properly rather than being left for another season to turn into a repeat call.
