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.

Unblocking the drains at an Airbnb property

"Happy Drains were a professional and refreshing company to work with from start to finish. They were excellent when I messed them around a little with the booking process and Alex and Matt the engineers were fantastic and I cannot recommend them enough! They updated me throughout and went above and beyond with a tricky placed drain and difficult access. They were able to unblock the plumbing for us efficiently and for a great price too (Unlike lots of the bigger franchises out there!!) Thank you for being so wonderful we will be sure to use you again should we ever need a drain engineer."

Unblock main drain to property

"Called Happy Drains after our drains backed up, I selected them as they were the only ones who displayed up front pricing and at an affordable price. They turned up within the hour, drains cleared in half hour and gave excellent advise on how to avoid blockages as well as a no obligation quote for potential future work to eliminate the issue. Invoice came in true to word. Wonderful service from booking in to drain clearance. Highly recommended"
