What the camera finds

What is happening below ground

Rats are known to use drainage systems as a route into buildings, entering through damaged or defective pipework. If this is not identified, the situation is likely to continue, regardless of how many rats are removed.

Here at Norfolk Environmental Pest Solutions, CCTV drain surveys are carried out to investigate what is happening below ground, helping to identify faults that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Using specialist camera equipment, the inside of the drainage system is inspected in detail. This allows faults to be located quickly and accurately.

Breaks
Displaced joints
Other defects

Even a small fault can be enough to allow rats access into a property.

When a survey helps

When the problem keeps coming back

This type of survey is particularly useful where problems have been ongoing or where previous attempts to deal with the situation have not been successful.

It provides a clear understanding of whether the drainage system is contributing to a persistent rat problem.

Rat blockers

Stopping rats at the source

Once the source has been identified, steps can be taken to prevent further access.

Non-return valves, often referred to as rat blockers, can be fitted within the pipework. These are designed to allow waste to flow out as normal, while stopping rats from re-entering the system.

Who it is for

For homes and businesses

Domestic and commercial

CCTV drain surveys are suitable for both domestic and commercial properties.

On its own or with pest control

A survey can be carried out as a standalone service or alongside rat control and other pest control work.

This approach focuses on prevention, rather than repeatedly dealing with the same situation.
