Drain Related Rat Problems and Sewer Entry Points
Many rat infestations in UK homes originate from the underground drainage system. Rats are strong swimmers and regularly travel through sewer networks searching for food sources and shelter. If there is damage to a pipe, a faulty joint, or an open connection within the drainage system, rats can escape from the sewer and gain access to properties through pipework, cavity walls, or beneath floors.
Identifying these hidden entry points is an important step in solving persistent rat problems. A professional CCTV drain inspection allows technicians to survey the internal condition of your drainage system using specialist camera equipment. This inspection can reveal cracked pipes, displaced joints, collapsed sections, or other defects that may be allowing rats to enter from the sewer network.
Once the source of the problem has been identified, preventative measures can be installed to stop rats travelling through the drainage system in the future. One of the most effective long-term solutions is the installation of a rat blocker. This involves fitting a stainless steel non-return valve inside the inspection chamber which allows wastewater to flow normally while preventing rats from moving upstream through the drains towards your property.
By combining professional rat control with proper drainage protection, Nex Pest Control can help eliminate the current infestation while significantly reducing the risk of rats returning through the sewer system.
