Rats, mice, rodent and vermin drain problems

Rats will use drains just like ‘Londoners use the Tube’ simply to travel from A to B to feed and nest and they love damaged or redundant drainage systems which can allow vermin to enter properties.

If you have a rodent/vermin infestation that your rodent/vermin contractor cannot control, this may be because of a drainage issue.  We will find the defects and access points the rat may be using.   We will offer you an appropriate solution be it drain repair or the installation of a WRc tested and certified 'Anti Vermin / Non-Return Valve'.

What do our Anti Vermin/Non-Return Drain Valves do?

• Stops rats and other vermin from entering homes. In effect by fitting a stainless-steel flap, that acts as a one way swinging door allowing waste out but nothing back in.
• The rubber seal prevents noxious fumes and smells from entering properties.
• The flap has an inbuilt stainless steel plate to stop rodents biting through, providing efficient pest control.
• The valve is completely re-usable during any drain cleaning and drain maintenance purposes fully removal and re-usable.
• Stops backflow of effluent from a blocked main sewer flooding into your property back through the drainage system.
• The clever design means the flow of waste is increased when passing through the valve; reducing blockages.

Bad smell in cloakroom

"This company must be one of the VERY BEST in Rugby, for integrity and honesty. Following a problem with a toilet not flushing too well, fixed by DIY plunger, we subsequently had an awful smell in our cloakroom and contacted Happy Drains. The chap on the phone was SO helpful and quoted a very competitive price -- but then gave is so many tips, which got our problem resolved without any charges whatsoever. Whereas he could so easily have sent a van and charged us for the privilege. Happy Drains will now have us as a customer for life. We would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone."
