Rodent Ingress Surveys

About Our Rodent Ingress Surveys

Rodents can cause extensive damage to drainage systems, taking advantage of even minor defects to infiltrate properties and create nests under floor cavities. London Drainage Services (LDS) offers specialised rodent ingress surveys to detect and prevent rodent access to your drainage system. Using advanced CCTV equipment, our team identifies entry points, assesses the extent of the issue, and provides effective solutions to keep your property safe from infestations.

With LDS, you get more than just detection—we also address the root cause. Our experienced engineers can repair cracks, splits, and other vulnerabilities in the pipework. Additionally, we offer the installation of rat blockers, which act as barriers to prevent future ingress. Our proactive approach not only stops current infestations but also safeguards your drainage system from future rodent issues, providing you peace of mind and long-term protection.

How Our Rodent Ingress Surveys Services Work

Our Rodent Ingress Surveys service is designed to identify and prevent potential rodent entry points within your drainage installation. Rodents often exploit weaknesses in drainage systems to access properties, leading to structural damage, health risks, and costly repairs. Our survey begins with a detailed CCTV inspection of your drainage network, allowing us to detect cracks, gaps, or misalignments that could be potential entry points for rodents.

Using specialised equipment, our team thoroughly inspects all vulnerable sections, including pipe joints, manholes, and any underground access points. This precise approach ensures that even the smallest openings are identified, giving us a complete understanding of where rodents might enter. Once detected, we provide a comprehensive report that includes images and recommendations for sealing entry points or repairing damaged areas.

Our Rodent Ingress Surveys help protect your property by reinforcing the integrity of your drainage installation, effectively preventing rodents from accessing your premises. By addressing these issues early, you can avoid the disruptions and expenses associated with rodent infestations. Our team’s expertise in drainage and rodent prevention ensures a secure and rodent-free environment, giving you peace of mind that your drainage system is both safe and well-protected.
