Older homes on timber stumps, or any Shailer Park property with an open subfloor, can end up with a possum using the space underneath rather than the roof, particularly where the lattice or skirting around the base has a gap. Noise from a subfloor job usually sounds like it is coming from below the floor rather than above the ceiling, and it can take a bit more work to place than a roof cavity call.
On the call we ask about the type of foundation, whether there is lattice or skirting around the base and roughly where the sound seems loudest, which helps the crew we book plan the visit before a local team comes out to Shailer Park to check the subfloor and the gaps around it.
Once the entry point is confirmed, whether that is a gap in the lattice, a broken skirting board or an opening near a service pipe, a one-way door goes over it and the surrounding gaps get sealed. Subfloor jobs often involve more linear metres of lattice or skirting than a roof visit, so they can take a little longer on the day.
- Call to work out the type of foundation and where the noise sits
- Local team checks the subfloor and the gaps around the base
- One-way door fitted at the confirmed entry point
- Sealing of lattice, skirting or pipe gaps nearby
- Pricing set before the visit is confirmed
Older subfloors with dirt rather than a concrete slab can also show paw prints or disturbed soil near the gap, which helps confirm the entry point before anything gets fitted.
