A wall cavity job usually starts the same way a roof job does, except the possum has dropped down from the roof space into the gap inside an external wall, often through a loose weatherboard or a gap near the top of a brick veneer wall. Scratching that seems to be coming from inside a wall rather than above the ceiling is the usual sign this has happened in a Shailer Park home.
On the call we ask exactly which wall and which part of the house the noise is coming from, since that helps the crew we book work out whether the possum dropped in from the roofline or entered through a lower gap in the wall itself. A local team then checks both areas once out at Shailer Park.
The fix uses the same idea as a roof cavity: a one-way door over the entry point, wherever it turns out to be along the wall or where the wall meets the roof, along with sealing of any other gaps in the weatherboard or brickwork nearby so the space cannot be used again.
- Call to pin down which wall and which part of the house
- Local team checks both the roofline and the wall cavity
- One-way door fitted at the confirmed entry point
- Sealing of gaps in weatherboard or brick veneer nearby
- Pricing set before the visit is booked
A check either side of the confirmed gap is worth doing at the same visit, since a wall with one weak spot sometimes has a second nearby that has not been used yet.
