How the Investigation Works
Rat activity can sometimes be linked to damaged or poorly connected drains, redundant pipework, broken inspection chambers or openings that allow movement towards a building. However, drains are only one possible route.
A responsible investigation considers the drainage evidence alongside possible entry through wall cavities, floors, roofs, service ducts, neighbouring properties and external gaps. Where a drainage defect is found, the repair should be targeted at the proven route rather than based on assumption.
When This Service Is Appropriate
This service is appropriate when there is a reasonable possibility that drainage defects are contributing to rat access, especially where activity is repeated or concentrated near toilets, floors, kitchens or drainage routes.
Chris’s Professional Advice
Drainage systems often cross boundaries or connect with shared pipework. Ownership and responsibility may need checking before repairs are arranged.
The most useful investigation is the one that answers a specific question. Before starting, I consider the symptoms, history and layout so the work remains focused.
Rat activity should never be blamed on drains without evidence. A complete solution may involve drainage repairs, proofing, pest control or work elsewhere in the building.
What Happens Next
I first establish the reason for the visit and the most useful access points. I then carry out the relevant clearance, inspection or investigation, explain the findings and discuss proportionate options. Where another trade, pest controller, insurer or structural specialist is more appropriate, I say so.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I receive clear advice?
Yes. I explain the important findings in plain English and distinguish between urgent work, sensible maintenance and items that may simply be monitored.
Do all defects need repairing?
No. Whether repair is justified depends on the severity, location, symptoms, flow and risk associated with the defect.
Can a survey help before buying a house?
Yes. A homebuyer drain survey can reveal defects and maintenance issues that are not visible during a normal property viewing.
Is there a call-out charge?
There is no separate call-out charge. The price and scope are discussed as clearly as possible before work starts.
Can you inspect after a blockage has been cleared?
Yes. This is often the best time to inspect where a blockage has been recurring or the cause remains uncertain.
Do you provide footage or findings?
The output depends on the service booked, but the important findings and recommendations are explained clearly.
Can you inspect shared drains?
Often yes, although access, permission and responsibility may need to be considered where pipework serves more than one property.
How much experience do you have?
I have more than 35 years of practical drainage experience, including previous council drainage work.
Can roots be seen during an inspection?
Usually yes. Root ingress often appears clearly, although heavy blockage or standing water may need clearing before the full extent can be assessed.
Do you charge VAT?
No VAT is added to my prices.
Can a CCTV survey prove rat entry?
It can identify drainage defects and possible routes, but the overall evidence from the property must also be considered.
Can you inspect older clay drains?
Yes, provided there is suitable access and the pipe can be entered safely with the equipment.
