A dead animal smell in a Darra roof or wall cavity is hard to miss and even harder to trace yourself, since the source is rarely right under the strongest part of the smell. Possums and rats are the usual cause, and the smell tends to peak over the first few days before easing off as the remains dry out.
The crew we book works through the roof space and any accessible wall or subfloor cavities to find and remove the source, rather than just waiting for the smell to fade on its own over several weeks. Once the animal is out, the crew checks the area for the gap that let it in, so Darra homeowners are not dealing with the same problem again down the track.
- Tracing the smell to the roof, wall cavity or subfloor space it is coming from
- Removing the animal and any affected insulation or material around it
- A check of the entry point the animal used to get in
- Advice on airing out the space once the source has been removed
Locating the source in a Darra roof can take some searching, since smell does not always sit directly above where an animal has died, especially in a larger or more complex roof structure. The crew works methodically through the roof space, checking likely spots such as around the eaves, over bathrooms and near any recent possum or rat activity, rather than guessing at a single access point and hoping the smell clears from there.
A dead animal smell in Darra rarely clears on its own in a reasonable time, so it is worth getting it found rather than waiting it out. Call 07 3543 7766 to book a crew.
