Noises at night, a musky smell or a stain on the ceiling all point to something in the roof, but it is not always clear what. A roof space inspection in Eatons Hill gives you an answer before you spend money on other work. We give you an upfront price for the inspection and book a local crew to come out.
The crew we book climbs through the manhole and moves through the roof space as far as the framing allows. They look at the insulation, timbers and wiring, then head outside to check the roof line from a ladder. On two-storey homes, they check each roof space that has its own access. Matching what they see inside with the gaps outside tells them what is living there and how it gets in. They look for:
- Nests and flattened or tunnelled insulation
- Droppings, urine stains and odour hot spots
- Chewed wiring, sarking or timber
- Gaps at eaves, ridges, valleys and roof joins
- Signs of rats and mice as well as possums
At the end, the crew explains what they found and what they would suggest. You get a price for any work, and nothing goes ahead unless you agree. If the roof is clear, you get that answer too, which is handy if the noises have stopped and you want to be sure nothing is still living up there.
An inspection also makes sense after buying a home in Eatons Hill, or if you are not sure whether you have possums or rats. Most take about an hour. Call 07 3543 7771 to book, and tell us what you have noticed so the crew can focus on the right areas.
