CCTV Drain Surveys for Rodents

Your drainage systems are your home or business’s main entry point for rats. Rodent infestation in drainpipes is a serious problem for homeowners. Getting rid of an infestation for good after they have made themselves at home entails serious financial commitments. As well as this, their presence is a serious health risk for any occupant. Express Drainage Survey’s drainage specialists will help you to determine the site of infestation and entry points whilst our engineers will go the extra mile to solve the problem.

Rat Detection Drain Survey

If you suspect the presence of rats or other rodents in your sewer (by signs of droppings, characteristic sounds, unpleasant smells, etc.), a rat detection CCTV survey of your pipes will be the best solution. This is guaranteed to establish pipe entree points and determine how these rodents are getting into your house. Using the reports obtained during the survey, we will recommend the most effective solution, Whether that is installing rat blockers or repairing pipework.

Benefits of Rat Detection Drain Surveys

• Investigation of sewer problems
• Search for pests and identification of entry routes
• Reporting, recommendations and advice to fix the problem and prevent its occurrence in the future
• Installation of rat blockers and sealing entrances

Drain Defects

Were you aware that drain defects are responsible for 90% of internal rat issues? Rats infiltrate residential properties by exploiting flaws in the drainage system and tunnelling their way underground until they gain access to the interiors. In certain instances, rodents even start nesting beneath your floorboards. Given that a rat’s gestation period lasts just three weeks, it doesn’t take much time for a widespread infestation to take hold. Female rats can have over a thousand young each year.

What is a Rat Blocker?
One of the most efficient guards against rodents entering your house or business is the installation of rat blockers. These devices are fitted onto the downstream mouth of the drain and have one-way catch systems that allow water to enter the local sewer systems whilst stopping rats and mice travelling in the opposite direction towards your house. Here’s how rat blockers work:

• One-way flap: A hinged flap inside the device opens to let wastewater pass through but automatically closes when there is no flow to prevent anything from entering.
• Disruption-free installation: Our engineers can work quickly in most cases to install your device without disrupting your home or business. The devices fit in the desired area of drainage and are immediately functional.

Why Stainless Steel?

Express Drainage Surveys only install stainless steel rat blockers. We do this for several reasons, but most importantly, it guarantees that the device is effective and durable. On a practical level, the sturdy nature of these devices means that rats can’t bite through them and enter your internal drain systems keeping your home or business rodent-free.
