A musky, sour smell in a bedroom or hallway is often the first sign that a possum has been in the roof for a while. Possum urine soaks into ceiling boards and insulation, and in humid Kallangur weather the smell can drift down through downlights, vents and cornices. A dead animal in the roof brings a stronger, rotten smell. Ceiling odour treatment helps clear the air once the cause has been dealt with. We book it on its own or with removal, clean-up or dead animal removal.
The crew we book finds the source of the smell first. Nests, soaked insulation, droppings or a dead animal have to come out, because no treatment will clear the smell while the source is still there. They then apply a deodorising treatment to the affected timber and the back of the ceiling boards, and can use a fogger to reach tight corners of the roof cavity.
Most smells ease within a few days. A strong smell from a dead animal in hot weather can take a little longer. Some rooms may smell of the deodoriser for a short time, which fades quickly. If a brown or yellow stain has come through the ceiling, the crew can tell you whether it will need sealing and painting by a painter once it dries.
