Sometimes a possum does not stay in the roof. It slips down inside a wall cavity, often through a gap at the head of the wall frame or near an old chimney, and you hear scratching and thumping behind the plaster. We take bookings for wall cavity possum removal in Rocklea and book a nearby independent crew to find where it is and how it got in.
The crew we book listens and checks from the roof space down, looking for gaps at the head of the wall frame and tracks that run to them. They also check outside for gaps in cladding, weatherboards, brick vents and the space under the eaves. Older timber homes with weatherboard walls and brick homes with open vents are the most likely to have this problem. Possums may be moving between the roof and the wall, so both spaces are checked on the same visit.
Once the way in is found, a one-way door is fitted so the possum can climb out. When the cavity is empty, the gap is closed. If a possum has died inside the wall, the crew can locate it and remove it, which may mean cutting a small access hole in the plaster that you can have patched later.
