Rats in Drains — Investigation & Sealing in Shirley

Rats in Drains — Investigation & Sealing for Shirley (CR0) properties

The blockages we see most in Shirley are fat, oil and grease build-up from kitchen waste pipes, blocked soakaways causing standing water in gardens and driveways, manhole overflow and backing-up during heavy use. Rats in Drains — Investigation & Sealing is the right call when those symptoms point at the underground run rather than the trap under the sink.
