Rats in the House?
Can you hear them? In the Walls? In the Loft? Rats are more than likely coming through the Sewer System, meaning there is a break or hole somewhere in one of your drain pipes.
Smell a Rat?

Rats emit an unpleasant odor because they mark their territory wherever they go. Rat urine is highly toxic, and the situation needs to be addressed promptly.

What to do!?!
If you have a Rat problem, the first thing to do is quickly add a rat blocker to your drainage system. This will stop the rats from entering the property. The Rats will most likely only come at night.
🐀 Creepy & Cool Rat Facts You’ll Want to Know
Expert Drainage Services for Your Property
🧠 1. Rats Are Incredibly Smart
Rats can solve puzzles, remember routes, and even learn by watching other rats. They're so intelligent that scientists use them in behavioural studies worldwide.
🚽 2. Rats Can Swim Up Toilets
Yes — it’s real. Rats can tread water for 3 days, hold their breath for up to 3 minutes, and swim up through U-bends into your toilet. If your drainage system has a fault, they’ll find it.
🕳️ 3. A Rat Can Squeeze Through a Hole the Size of a 50p Coin
Their skeletons are collapsible — if the skull fits, the rest of the body follows. That’s how they get through tiny cracks in drains and pipe joints.
💩 4. One Rat Can Produce Over 25,000 Droppings a Year
Most infestations go unnoticed for weeks, but the droppings build up fast. Spotting them in lofts, basements or around drain covers is a warning sign.
🦷 5. A Rat’s Teeth Never Stop Growing
Their front teeth grow up to 14 cm a year, which is why they constantly gnaw — on pipes, cables, wood, and even concrete. That can lead to serious structural and fire risks.
👃 6. Rats Have a Powerful Sense of Smell
They can detect odours from metres away — including faint traces of food or even small leaks from waste pipes. If your pipework smells, rats might already be investigating.
🔊 7. You’ll Hear Them Before You See Them
Scratching in the loft? Noises under the bath? Rats are nocturnal and most active at night, especially between midnight and 4am.
🚫 8. If You See One, There Are Probably More
Rats live in colonies. Seeing one usually means a much bigger population is nearby, often in the drains, under floorboards or in cavity walls.
