How Rats Enter Through Drains
Cracked pipes, displaced joints, redundant branch lines and damaged interceptors can create direct routes for rats to travel from the sewer into your property. These issues are often underground and invisible without a CCTV inspection.

Our advanced drain cameras allow us to:
• Identify breaks, cracks, displacements and collapsed sections
• Locate redundant or open pipework rats can exploit
• Map the drainage layout to pinpoint the exact point of ingress
• Provide clear visual evidence for repairs or insurance claims
