Insulation is the first thing to suffer when a possum moves into the roof. It gets flattened into paths, used as nest material and soaked with urine, and once that happens it holds the smell for months. Brushtail possums in particular can soak a large area over a few weeks. Soaked batts can also sit heavy on the ceiling sheets and leave stains in the rooms below. We take bookings for soiled insulation removal in Peregian Beach and book a nearby independent crew, with upfront pricing on the phone.
The crew we book checks the roof space and marks out the soiled sections, which are usually around the nest, the entry gap and the main paths the possum used. They wear protective gear throughout. They bag the affected batts or loose fill inside the roof, carry them out, and clean and treat the timber and ceiling backs underneath. Insulation that is still clean is left where it is.
Soiled insulation removal may include:
- Marking out the soiled and flattened sections
- Bagging batts or loose fill inside the roof space
- Carrying the bags out without spreading mess inside
- Cleaning and treating the timber underneath
- Checking the ceiling sheets for weak or stained spots
This work is usually booked once the possum is out of the roof and the gaps are sealed. In the summer heat in Peregian Beach, a roof with soaked insulation can smell strong for a long time, so clearing it out often makes more difference than any spray. The crew can tell you how much was removed so you can plan any new insulation. It pairs well with roof deodorising.
