Rats in Drains — Investigation & Sealing for Plumstead (SE18) properties

London clay is unforgiving on old drainage. Ground movement over decades opens up joints in Victorian salt-glazed clay, and roots find those openings within a season. That matters for rats in drains — investigation & sealing in Plumstead, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.

  • Silted and overflowing gullies after heavy rain in SE18
