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?

Drain unblocked

"We was very happy with the service provided. Contacting and organising the work was straight forward and we found the staff all very friendly and easy to communicate with. We will definitely use again. Thanks "

Kitchen drain not clearing outside.

"After trying to clear outside gully by hand, I feared a major underground issue. After seeing good reviews, I called Happy Drains Norwich. A non urgent visit was agreed 8am-12. On the day, He called to advise on the way. Shortly after, he called again to advise that he had to attend an emergency and would it be OK in 1 hour. I agreed and he arrived in originally agreed time window. Relying on experience, he determined that the gully outlet was in a surprise position and he removed bits of concrete and old fat. Quick job but fee was ok for his experience and his very flexible wrists!"

Drain issues

"We booked in a clean because our drain in the back garden smelled like rotting eggs. The technician took off the manhole cover and could see it was completely blocked.

Will definitely be recommending this company to friends and family!! Thank you so much team!"
