A possum in a wall cavity in Capalaba usually means scratching or thumping low down near a corner of the house rather than overhead in the roof. It often gets in through a gap where a downpipe meets the wall, a broken airbrick, or a gap left by old plumbing or wiring work. When you call, we note where in the house the noise is and book a local team to check the wall from both inside and outside.
The crew traces the cavity to find the actual entry point, since a possum can travel a fair distance inside a wall before settling. Once the entry point is confirmed, a one way door is fitted so the possum can push out and leave on its own but cannot climb back in. Homes across Capalaba with weatherboard or brick veneer walls are checked for any other soft spots nearby that could become a second entry point.
Once the wall cavity is clear, the entry point is sealed and any airbricks, gaps around pipes or loose cladding nearby are proofed at the same time. This stops the same spot being used again once the weather turns and possums start looking for a new place to settle.
