A roof or gable vent is meant to let air move through the roof cavity, but an old or damaged vent cover can end up being an easy way in for a possum or a rat, especially once the mesh has rusted through or a corner has come loose. This is one of the more common gaps found during a roofline check on a Ipswich home.
When you call 07 3543 7768 about vent guards, the crew checks every vent around the roofline, not just the one that looks obviously damaged, since a smaller gap on the far side of the roof is just as easy for a possum or rat to use. Guards are fitted to let air through as the vent is meant to, while closing off the gap an animal would otherwise use.
This is often done alongside a wider proofing job, so the vents are covered at the same time as the eaves and manhole, but it can also be booked on its own if a vent is the only gap that has been noticed at your Ipswich property. Older homes tend to have a mix of vent types around the roofline, so the crew checks gable vents, eave vents and any whirlybird fittings while they are up there, rather than just the one that prompted the call.
