Rats in Drains — Investigation & Sealing in Colgate

Rats in Drains — Investigation & Sealing for Colgate (RH12) properties

The blockages we see most in Colgate are blocked soakaways causing standing water in gardens and driveways, manhole overflow and backing-up during heavy use, collapsed or dropped sections in older clay pipework. Rats in Drains — Investigation & Sealing is the right call when those symptoms point at the underground run rather than the trap under the sink.
