Our Specialist Rodent Infrastructure Services
CCTV Drainage Investigation
Every successful drain repair begins with a thorough CCTV drainage investigation. Using the latest inspection technology, we accurately identify the cause and location of drainage problems without unnecessary excavation.
Our CCTV drainage surveys can identify:
- Rodent access points
- Broken or cracked drains
- Failed drain joints
- Open drain connections
- Structural defects
- Redundant drainage systems
- Displaced pipework
- Defective manholes
Following the survey, we provide a comprehensive report complete with CCTV footage, photographic evidence and clear recommendations for the most effective long-term repair solution.

Drainage Defect Repairs
Once access points have been identified, we carry out permanent structural repairs using the most appropriate solution for the drainage system.
Structural Patch Lining
Structural patch lining is ideal for isolated drainage defects, including:
- Cracks
- Open joints
- Root ingress
- Small fractures
- Rodent entry points
A structural liner is installed internally without excavation, restoring the pipe’s structural integrity and creating a smooth internal bore.
Full Drain Relining
Where multiple defects exist, we install full structural liners to create a continuous, jointless pipe. This helps prevent further rodent ingress while extending the life of the drainage system.
Excavation Repairs
Where drainage systems are beyond repair, our civils teams can carry out more extensive repair work, including:
- Drain replacements
- New pipe installations
- Manhole reconstruction
- Drainage diversions
- Surface reinstatement

Licensed Rat Patch Installers
Draintech Services Midlands Ltd are proud to be licensed installers of the Rat Patch System.
Rat Patch is an innovative structural repair solution specifically designed to eliminate rodent access through defective drainage infrastructure. Installed internally using specialist equipment, it provides a permanent repair without the need for costly excavation in many situations.

Licensed Installers of Nordisk Rat Blocker Systems
Draintech Services Midlands Ltd are also licensed installers of the Nordisk Rat Blocker System, one of the UK’s leading solutions for preventing rodent ingress through foul drainage systems.
The Nordisk Rat Blocker is a robust stainless steel one-way valve that prevents rodents from travelling through drainage networks while allowing wastewater to flow freely through the pipe.

Manhole & Chamber Repairs
Manholes frequently become rodent access points due to deterioration, damage or poor construction. Our specialist repairs help restore the integrity of the chamber and prevent rodents from using these defects to access the drainage system.
Our manhole and chamber repair services include:
- Manhole benching repairs
- Pipe sealing
- Chamber reconstruction
- Channel repairs
- Cover replacements
- Structural waterproofing
Removal of Redundant Drainage
Unused pipework often creates hidden rodent highways. We safely identify and permanently remove or seal redundant drainage routes to reduce the risk of future infestation.
We can remove or seal:
- Redundant connections
- Abandoned drainage
- Unused laterals
- Disused interceptors
Removing these routes significantly reduces future infestation risk and helps protect the property from further rodent activity.
