Stop Rats in Drains | Long-Term Protection | Local Experts

If you have rats in your drainage system, our rodent prevention in Portsmouth provides an effective solution. At Better Drains Portsmouth, we identify entry points, repair damaged pipes, and help prevent rodents from accessing your property.

Rats often travel through sewers and enter homes via faulty or broken drains.

How Do Rats Get Into Drains?

Rodents are highly adaptable and can squeeze through small gaps, climb pipes, and even swim through drainage systems. They typically enter properties through:

  • Cracked or collapsed drain pipes
  • Open joints or uncapped pipework
  • Damaged connections and old drainage systems
  • Weak points in underground pipework

In fact, a large percentage of rodent infestations are linked directly to drainage defects, making proper inspection and repair critical.

Signs You Have Rats in Your Drains

Rodents can enter drainage systems through cracked pipes, damaged joints, or poorly maintained pipework. Over time, ageing drains can shift or break, creating small openings that allow rats to get through.

You may need rodent prevention services in Portsmouth if you notice:

  • Rats entering via toilets or drains
  • Scratching sounds in walls or pipework
  • Frequent rodent activity near external drains
  • Cracked or damaged underground pipes
  • Issues highlighted during a CCTV drain survey

Our engineers use CCTV drain surveys to quickly locate entry points and identify where rodents are accessing your drainage system.

Effective Rodent Prevention Solutions

Once the problem has been located, we carry out the necessary repairs to secure the drainage system. This may include sealing damaged pipe joints, repairing broken sections of pipe, or installing specialist rat blockers within the drainage system. These devices allow wastewater to flow normally while preventing rodents from travelling through the pipes.

By repairing the drainage system and installing preventative measures, we help ensure rodents cannot re-enter the property through the drains.
