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.

Unblocked drain and flushed through

"Call centre staff were very helpful in arranging an appointment that suited my time schedule. The engineer called 20 minutes before arriving to make sure this was still ok. Very polite and friendly (Tony) and discussed the job before starting. Showed me what was wrong and what he was going to do to correct the situation. Very helpful and tidy. Paid online after the job was complete. Job report handed over at completeion and then emailed again after. Could not recommend enough. Excellent service."

Punctual, fast and friendly/polite. Would absolutely recommend these guys and will definitely call on them again should I ever need to."
