Insulation is where most possum damage ends up. Possums often nest directly in batts or loose fill, and months of urine and droppings leave it soaked, flattened and smelly. In older Kallangur homes, the insulation may already be thin, so a possum problem can leave whole sections useless. Soiled insulation removal clears it out so the roof cavity can be cleaned, deodorised and, if you choose, re-insulated.
The crew we book checks how much of the insulation is affected and gives you a price before starting. They bag the soiled batts section by section, carry the bags down through the manhole and take them off the property. Loose fill is vacuumed out where batts cannot be lifted. Sheets go down in the room below the manhole to keep dust and debris out of the house, and the crew wears protective gear throughout.
With the soiled material gone, the timber and back of the ceiling boards can be treated for odour. The crew can also point out any chewed wiring, water stains or damage that an electrician or roofer should look at. If you want new insulation, they can tell you how much was removed so you can get a price from an installer.

It makes sense to remove insulation once the possum is out and the roof is sealed. Tell us the size of the home and roughly where the possum was nesting. Call 07 3543 7773 to book soiled insulation removal in Kallangur with upfront pricing.
