CCTV Drain Inspections For Rat Entry Points
One of the main ways rats enter your home is through your drainage system. Because rats live in sewers, they often exploit gaps, collapsed pipes and other damage to gain entry to your property's drainage system and then make their way inside.
So, if you have a rat infestation but can't find their entry point, then Pest-Tech recommends a CCTV drain survey to assess your drainage network. Using state-of-the-art CCTV cameras, we can identify the drainage problem and help get it fixed.
What Is A CCTV Drain Survey?
A CCTV drain survey involves inserting CCTV cameras into your property’s drainage system to check for issues such as tree root intrusion, blocked drains, collapsed pipes or other problems that could be allowing rats to gain entry.
The drain technician will watch the progress of the camera through the drain pipes live on the display, then record the CCTV drain camera footage to deliver a comprehensive drain survey report.
This detailed report will explain what damage has been found, potential risks of future problems and provide recommendations on what to do next.
Why Is A CCTV Drain Inspection Important?
Because your property’s drainage system is underneath the property and can’t be seen from above ground, a CCTV drain survey is an important step to take to find potential issues.
Over time, tree roots can grow into pipes, causing structural defects, or collapsed joints could cause leaks. These problems create gaps, and rats can use these to navigate from public sewer systems into your home’s drainage network, which will lead them inside your space.
These drainage issues can also lead to unexpected repair costs and drainage problems, such as slow flowing water.
When the drainage issues are dealt with we can carry out rat control and get rid of your pest problem. If you’re dealing with a rat infestation and don’t know how they’re entering, contact us today or call your local technician now on 01622 296055.
