A sour, ammonia smell that hangs around a room, especially on warm or humid days, is often possum urine soaking into the ceiling above. A sweeter, rotten smell usually means something has died. Both are unpleasant, and both can get worse in summer. We take bookings for roof odour treatment in Rocklea and book an independent crew that works nearby to find the cause and treat it.
The crew we book first finds the source. They check the roof space for the nest area, wet or stained insulation and any dead animal. Removing the source is the main step, because treating the air alone will not stop a smell that keeps coming back. Soiled insulation can be bagged and taken away, and droppings are cleared. Where the smell comes from a wall, the crew checks the head of the wall frame as well.
Once the source is gone, the crew applies an odour treatment to the affected timber, plaster and insulation. This breaks down the smell rather than just covering it up. In most homes the smell fades over a few days, helped by airing the house. If possums are still getting in, the crew points out the gaps so they can be sealed and the problem does not start again.
