Rats in Drains — Investigation & Sealing for Mugswell (CR5) properties

Older homes in Mugswell were plumbed with salt-glazed clay in short sections with mortar joints — the classic entry point for roots. Newer estates use continuous UPVC, which blocks less from roots and more from wipes, fat and misuse. We factor that into every rats in drains — investigation & sealing job we take in CR5.

Most common drainage problems in Mugswell

  • Collapsed or dropped sections in older clay pipework
