Most homes in Narangba sit on a concrete slab, but older houses, acreage homes and homes on sloping blocks can be raised, with open space under the floor. Timber decks and extensions often have space underneath too. A possum can shelter in these spaces or use them to reach the wall cavities, and you may hear it moving under the floor at night.
When you call, we ask what sort of floor your home has and where the noise is coming from, then give you upfront pricing and book a local team. The crew we book checks around the base of the home and under any decks, looking for loose lattice, open sections between stumps, gaps beside stairs and places where the soil has been dug out. They also look at where the subfloor meets the walls.
If a possum is using the space, a one way door is fitted over the main gap first. Once the space is clear, open sections are closed with sturdy mesh or sheet metal fastened to the frame. Vents are covered in a way that still lets air move under the floor, which helps keep the subfloor dry. On sloping blocks, the lower side of the home often has the biggest gaps, so it gets a close look.
