    Vermin Investigation CCTV Drain Surveys Kent

    How do rats get into your property?

    Rat infestations are often traced back to a single fault within a drainage system or sewage pipe. It could be anything from displaced joins, broken pipework or redundant junctions.

    Unfortunately, when pests get into your cavity wall, they will make their way around your property – leaving a pheromone trail for other rats to follow.

    We understand that discovering rats in your home can be very distressing – and their ability to gnaw through wire, wood and plastic can cause damage to your property – but you mustn’t take vermin control into your own hands.

    Although it might be your instinct to lay rat traps and poisons, the quickest and most effective way to get rid of rats is rat detection in Kent.

    What does a rat investigation in Kent involve?

    At Certified Drain Surveys, we prefer not to use traps and poisons. Instead, we can arrange a vermin investigation in Kent (sometimes referred to as rat detection) to intercept the issue at the source.

    The way it works is straightforward.

    We will conduct a CCTV drainage survey to determine the location where rats are entering. To do this, we will use our state-of-the-art cameras which monitor movements within the drain and record the footage. Once we’ve established the entry point (i.e. the defective pipework), we can then recommend the best solution for vermin removal.

    Specialising in vermin control in London and surrounding areas, our engineers will guide you in resolving the issue quickly and effectively. On top of this, we will gladly share tips on how to look after your drains to prevent rat problems from reoccurring.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How do I know if I need a rat survey?

      There are a few tell-tale signs that indicate you have a rodent problem – including rat droppings, scratching noises under the floorboards and in the walls, gnaw holes, and chewed wood, plastic, cables and packaging.

      If you’re unable to locate where rats are getting in, having a CCTV drain survey carried out is ideal. Not only will it establish how and where vermin are entering your property, but it can also reveal what action is required to eradicate the problem.

      At Certified Drains, we never lay traps and poisons. Instead, we assess the condition of your drainpipes and spot defects that could be making it easier for rodents to gain access to your home or business. From here, we can then advise you on the necessary repairs to prevent problems from reoccurring in the future.
