Eaves are the overhanging edge of the roof, and gaps here are another common way a possum gets into a roof cavity in Stafford. A section of eave lining that has come away from the frame, a gap where two sections meet, or a vent without a guard can all be wide enough for a possum to squeeze through without leaving much trace of how it got in.
The crew we book walks the full eave line, checking for gaps, loose lining and vents without guards, rather than only looking at the section closest to where the noise has been heard. Any gaps found can be sealed with materials that hold up outdoors, so the fix is not one that needs redoing within a season or two.
Homes in Stafford with timber eaves tend to show more movement over time than homes with metal or fibre cement lining, so a periodic check can be worth booking even without a possum already in the roof, particularly ahead of the cooler months when roof cavities become a more appealing place to shelter from the weather.
A gap in the eaves is not always obvious from the ground, since the underside of the eave line can be hard to see without a ladder or a good look from close up. That is part of why the crew checks the whole line up close, rather than going only by what can be spotted from the yard.
