Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your pipes to identify the most effective point for installation. We carefully fit the device within the manhole chamber, ensuring it remains fully operational for waste disposal while blocking any upward movement from the sewer network.

Are rat blockers suitable for all drainage types? Most standard residential drains can accommodate these valves, though a quick inspection is required to check pipe diameter and access. Will this stop the drains from flushing? No, the mechanism is designed to open only when waste passes through, allowing normal flow without obstruction. Is it a permanent fix? Once installed, these stainless steel units are highly durable and act as a long-term deterrent against rodent ingress. If you are noticing persistent foul odours or have heard scratching noises near your drains, we recommend also booking a CCTV drain survey to rule out existing pipe damage.
