Rats rarely appear without a cause. We combine humane treatments with drain expertise to remove infestations and prevent re-entry. From CCTV drain surveys to non-return valve installation, we tackle the root cause—not just the symptoms.

When to Suspect a Drain Issue

 

  • Recurrent rat activity after standard treatments

  • Activity near kitchens, bathrooms or soil stacks

  • Manholes showing evidence of rats

  • Older properties with redundant or shared lines

What We Do

  1. Initial assessment — internal/external checks and manhole inspection

  2. CCTV survey — locate breaks, open connections or rat runs

  3. Report & recommendations — clear summary with images/video where available

  4. Non-return valve installation — sized and positioned to maintain normal outflow

  5. Follow-up — re-inspection and liaison notes for any drainage repairs

Benefits
