Service Used: Drain Survey
-
Why would I need a drain survey for a pest problem?
A drain survey is useful when pest activity keeps returning or there are signs that rats may be entering through the drainage system. Using a camera, the survey can identify damaged drains, open pipework, gaps, breaks or other hidden defects that may be giving pests access to your property. Once the problem area is found, the right treatment or repair can be recommended.
-
Can drain defects cause recurring rat problems?
Yes. Rats are known to travel through drainage systems and can enter properties through damaged pipework, cracks, open connections, redundant drains or poorly sealed areas. If these access points are not found and dealt with, rats may continue to return even after pest control treatment. A drain survey helps identify whether the drainage system is part of the problem.
-
What happens after the survey?
After the survey, we explain what has been found and advise on the most suitable next step. Depending on the issue, this may include pest control treatment, proofing work, fitting a one-way valve, arranging drain repairs, or making practical changes to reduce the risk of the problem coming back.
