How does rodent detection in drains work?

We use CCTV equipment inside the drainage system to inspect for rodent activity, damaged sections, open joints, and other defects that may be allowing access. This helps us identify where the problem is likely starting and what repair work we may need to do.

What signs suggest rodents may be entering through drains?

Repeated sightings, scratching sounds near pipe runs, unpleasant smells, or recurring pest problems can all point to a drainage defect. A camera inspection is often the best way to confirm whether the drain system is involved.

Can you recommend repairs after the inspection?

Yes. Once we have identified broken pipework, open joints, or other faults, we can recommend suitable repair solutions to help prevent future rodent access through the drainage system.

Find where rodents are getting in

Rodents often use damaged drains to enter your property, and the problem can quickly spread beyond the drainage system. At Kiwi Drainage Ltd, we use CCTV surveys to inspect your drains, identify rodent activity and locate the entry points they are using. Cracked pipes, broken sections and open joints can all provide easy access.

If you notice unpleasant smells, noises around pipework, or repeated rodent sightings, something below ground could be causing the problem. With more than 20 years of drainage experience, we provide clear survey findings and practical repair advice to help stop rodents returning to your property in Watford.
