Why You Might Need A CCTV Drainage Survey
The main reason Essex Pest Proof provides CCTV drain surveys is to find rat entry points. Treating the root cause of your rat infestation means that our rat control services will be more effective. Rats will find their way out of faulty drain systems which are normally adjacent to your properties foundations and cavity walls. Once rats have found a point of ingress they will exploit it and gain access into your cavity or under the foundations. They can then move around your property using the cavity walls and voids finding their way into loft areas. If you have had building work extending over existing drainage systems or if drainage systems have been modified, this could also allow rats into your property.

Rats can cause property damage and are generally a nuisance, which is why many homeowners across Chelmsford, Southend and throughout Essex get a CCTV drain surveys. Some home buyers also get a pre-purchase drain survey to identify potential issues and avoid costly repairs.
