Once a possum has been using a roof space for a while, it usually leaves behind a build-up of droppings, leaves, bark and old bedding in one corner, often near the spot it was sleeping during the day. Possum droppings clean-up in Wynnum deals with that mess once the roof space is confirmed clear, rather than leaving it to sit under the insulation. The amount of build-up depends on how long the possum was in residence, and it is not unusual to find more than expected once the crew gets a proper look.
The crew opens up access to the roof space, works out where the build-up is, and clears it out along with any insulation that has been pulled apart or soiled. Protective equipment is used throughout, since droppings and old bedding are not something you want to handle directly. Droppings and old bedding are bagged and taken away rather than left loose in the ceiling space, since a build-up like that can hold a smell long after the possum itself has gone.
This is usually booked alongside roof entry sealing, since there is little point closing up the roof in Wynnum while old nesting material is still sitting in the cavity. Once the mess is cleared, the crew can also point out any timber or sarking that looks like it needs a closer look, or flag if any insulation needs replacing.
