4. Drain Cleaning & Maintenance
Regular drain cleaning prevents the build-up of debris, grease, and pest habitats within your waste pipes.
Preventative Care: Proactively stops blockages and pest entry.
Efficient Service: High-pressure water jetting to clear drains effectively.
Examples Of Common Repairs
High-Pressure Jetting & Vacuum Suction
The Jetting shoots water at extremely high pressure into drains and pipes, breaking up stubborn blockages like grease, sludge, roots, and debris. Then the Vacuum Suction extracts the dislodged waste, sludge, contaminated liquids, and even materials like sand.
Broken AJs With Rat Burrows
When PVC AJs get damaged, rats start burrowing from the sewer and come out at ground level. We excavate the pipework and replace faulty AJs.
Broken Manhole Frames
Manhole concrete frames can get damaged over time. We rebuild these so rodents cannot get in or out.
Plastic Air Vent Covers
When rats chew through plastic air vents, we cover them with metal vents to prevent future issues.
Why Is a Drain Pipe Survey Crucial for Pest Control?
Sewer pipe defects are a leading cause of rodent infestations, allowing pests to easily access your home or business. Smoke tests and CCTV pipe surveys provide clear, accurate evidence of existing issues, ensuring quick remedial actions and long-term pest prevention.
