πŸ€ Stop Rodents Before They Cause Costly Drainage Damage

At Kingston Upon Thames Drains24, we often see how rodents cause serious problems for drainage systems. Rats are notorious for gaining access through faulty or broken drains, leading to blockages, foul odours, structural damage, and even infestations inside homes and businesses.

Rat stoppers are a simple but highly effective solution to protect your drains, your property, and your peace of mind.


πŸ” How Rats Use Your Drains to Enter Your Property

Rodents are opportunistic. They thrive in sewer systems and use broken or open drainage pipes as entry points into properties. Once inside your drainage network, they can chew through pipes, dislodge joints, and cause serious, hidden damage.

Left unchecked, this can lead to:
🚫 Repeated blockages
🚫 Water ingress and damp issues
🚫 Structural damage
🚫 Unpleasant odours inside the property
🚫 Health hazards from contamination


πŸ›‘οΈ What Are Rat Stoppers?

Rat stoppers are non-return valves fitted within your drainage system. They allow water and waste to flow out of your property but prevent anything from coming back in β€” including rats.

These simple devices stop rodents from entering from the main sewer line, preventing access to your home or business via the drains.


πŸ”§ Benefits of Installing Rat Stoppers

βœ” Prevents Rats Gaining Entry: Keeps rodents out of your property
βœ” Protects Your Drainage System: Reduces risk of costly damage
βœ” Stops Foul Odours: Prevents gases and smells from backing up
βœ” Simple & Cost-Effective: Quick to install with long-term benefits
βœ” Peace of Mind: Safeguard your home, business, and reputation


πŸŽ₯ Why Combine Rat Stoppers with CCTV Drain Surveys?

Before installing rat stoppers, it’s important to inspect the drainage system. At Kingston Upon Thames Drains24, we offer comprehensive CCTV drain inspections to ensure your drains are free from blockages, structural issues, or existing rodent activity.

A CCTV drain survey uses high-definition cameras to explore the full length of your drainage pipes. This allows our engineers to:

βœ… Confirm the ideal location for rat stopper installation
βœ… Identify any other issues such as cracks, root ingress, or collapsed pipes
βœ… Provide a detailed report with clear recommendations


🏠 Common Signs You May Need Rat Stoppers

  • Hearing scratching sounds in walls or beneath floors
  • Seeing rat droppings in basements or near drains
  • Recurring blockages with no clear cause
  • Unexplained foul smells from drains

If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to act.
