Chewed Roof Flashing – Squirrel Exclusion (Oakville)

Squirrel activity was confirmed at this Oakville property after a roof inspection identified squirrels chewing directly through the roof flashing to gain access into the attic. The inspection revealed multiple vulnerable roofline areas, including damaged flashing, poorly secured previous exclusion work, exposed attic vents, plumbing vents, and unprotected wall vents. Several of the existing repairs had failed or were inadequately installed, allowing squirrels to exploit weak points throughout the roof system.

A custom wildlife exclusion system was fabricated on site using heavy-duty galvanized mesh, creating a reinforced barrier around the damaged roof intersection. A squirrel one way door was installed at the active entry point, allowing the squirrels to leave the attic while preventing them from returning. The surrounding roofline was reinforced to eliminate additional chewing opportunities and strengthen the entire section. Wildlife-proofing continued across the remainder of the roof by reinforcing plumbing vents, securing attic vents with protective vent covers, and installing wall vent covers over vulnerable exterior openings. Waterproof sealant was applied throughout the installation to protect every fastener and roof penetration while maintaining the integrity of the roofing system. These upgrades help prevent future access by squirrels, raccoons, birds, mice, and other nuisance wildlife. Work was performed by Andrew in Oakville, with squirrel removal, one way door installation, roof flashing repair, attic vent protection, plumbing vent reinforcement, wall vent protection, and complete exterior wildlife-proofing completed during this visit.
