What Balwyn's houses mean for dead animal jobs

Balwyn grew up on a hill. Much of it was built in the interwar and post-war years, so you see a lot of solid brick homes with tiled roofs, generous eaves and gardens planted decades ago.

Those older roofs have had time to develop gaps. Timber eave linings shrink, mortar on ridge caps cracks, and possums get in along the gutter line.

The newer double-storey houses that have replaced many originals are a different job. Their roof spaces are often tight and full of ducting, and a carcass can lodge in a spot that's hard to see from the manhole.

Rats are common under the older homes, coming in through subfloor vents from gardens, sheds and fruit trees. When one dies under a timber floor, the smell rises straight into the rooms above.

Beckett Park and the Maranoa Gardens, with their mature native plantings, are a magnet for possums and birds on the high ground of Balwyn.

Street trees along roads like Mont Albert Road and the old gardens throughout the suburb give wildlife a canopy to move under, often right up to the roofline.

How We Run Dead Animal Removal in Balwyn

Tell us where you notice the smell. We check the roof, walls and subfloor, find the animal and work out the cleanest way to get it out.

Crowded roofs in new builds

Modern double-storey homes often have low roof spaces packed with ducting and downlights, which makes moving around difficult.

How we help: We use the right reach tools and plan our route through the roof space so we don't damage ducts or fittings.

Original interwar roofs

Older terracotta roofs can crack if walked on, and the tiles may be hard to match.

How we help: We work from inside the roof space where we can and treat the old tiles with care when we do need to go up.

Sloping blocks

Balwyn's hilly streets mean some homes have deep subfloors on one side and almost none on the other.

How we help: We look at the subfloor layout first and choose the access point that gets us closest to the carcass.

Balwyn Dead Animal Removal FAQ

FAQs About Dead Animal Removal in Balwyn

Our team can help if your question is not answered here.

It depends on where the animal is and how hard it is to get to. A possum near the manhole is quicker than a rat deep under a sloping block. We quote before any work begins.

Mostly dead possums, rats and birds. We also remove other small animals that end up in roofs, walls or under floors.

That depends on your policy, so check with your insurer. We can provide a written description of the work if you need it.

Usually the same day. Urgent jobs are covered 24/7.

Yes. Newer homes often have tight roof spaces full of ducting, so we plan how to reach the carcass before we start. We remove it, clean up and seal any gaps we find.
