A rat coming through a toilet usually means there is a drain route or defect to investigate. Chris Peters Plumbing & Drainage provides local independent drainage help with fixed prices, no VAT and no call-out fee.
Drainage problems can look simple from the surface but have different causes underneath. A blocked toilet may be a pan blockage, a waste pipe blockage or a problem further along the drain. A blocked sink may be caused by grease, fat, soap, hair or build-up inside the waste pipe. An overflowing outside drain may be caused by silt, leaves, wipes, fat or a deeper blockage in the underground pipework.
If rats are involved, the important thing is to find the route into the drainage system. A CCTV drain survey can look for broken pipework, open joints, redundant connections, displaced pipes or other defects that may allow rats to travel towards the property.
Customers can call directly or send a photo or video of the problem by WhatsApp for advice before booking.
The first step is to understand what is happening and where the symptoms are showing. For example, if a toilet is rising when flushed, if a sink is gurgling, if bath water is coming up elsewhere, or if an outside drain is overflowing, those clues can help point towards the likely section of pipework involved.
Where possible, the blockage is cleared using appropriate drainage equipment. If there are warning signs of a repeat fault, root ingress, damaged pipework or rat entry, a CCTV drain survey can be recommended so the cause is properly checked rather than guessed.
