When a possum or rats have lived in a roof for a while, the insulation takes the worst of it. Batts and loose-fill insulation soak up urine, get packed down under nests and fill with droppings. In a humid climate like the Gold Coast, that material holds smell and can start to grow mould.
The crew we book checks how far the damage goes before quoting. Sometimes only a few patches near the nest need to come out. In other homes, the whole roof space is affected. You get a clear picture and upfront pricing before any work starts.
- Soiled batts or loose-fill insulation bagged in the roof
- Bags lowered out through the manhole or roof access
- Droppings and debris vacuumed from the ceiling
- Roof space left clean and ready for new insulation
- Waste taken away from the property
The crew works in masks and protective clothing, and covers floors and furniture below the manhole so dust does not spread through the house. They work around downlights and cables and point out any damage they find along the way, such as chewed wiring or stained plaster.
Once the old insulation is out, it is a good time to seal the roof and deodorise the space so the new insulation stays clean. The crew we book can do the sealing and deodorising on the same visit. If you want new insulation fitted, the crew can tell you what to ask an installer. Tell us the size of the home and how long the animals were in the roof.
