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.

Building an extension?

Blocked drain that runs under house.

"Had a blockage from the sink drain that runs under my house. Called at 9:05 and engineer arrived within 3 hours and got the problem sorted within 25 mins of arrival making myself and my drain happy.
