How our drain inspection process works

When you contact Pest Medic for drain inspections in Horwich, you can expect a professional and methodical approach. Our process begins with a thorough site survey where our CPCA accredited technicians identify the most effective access points for our cameras. We use specialised, waterproof HD equipment that travels through your drainage network, providing a real-time feed of the internal condition of your pipes.Once the inspection is complete, we provide a detailed report and clear footage of our findings. If we identify rodent entry points, we don't just leave you with the problem. We offer comprehensive solutions, including drain repairs and professional pest proofing. This Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach ensures that once a hole is sealed or a pipe is repaired, the cycle of infestation is broken for good. We aim to respond to all enquiries within four hours, providing you with a free quote and a clear path to a resolution.

Why choose a survey for pest control?

Traditional pest control methods like baiting and trapping are often only temporary fixes if the physical entry point remains open. Rats are incredibly adept at navigating the UK's ageing Victorian sewer systems, and even a small gap in a pipe can allow them access into your wall cavities or loft spaces. A sewer camera survey is the only way to confirm if your drainage system is compromised.By choosing a professional inspection, you are protecting the long-term value and hygiene of your property. Identifying structural defects early can prevent more serious issues like subsidence or total pipe failure. For businesses in Horwich, particularly those in the food sector, this service is essential for maintaining high standards of environmental health and Food Standards Agency (FSA) compliance. We take an eco-friendly approach, focusing on physical barriers rather than the excessive use of harmful chemicals.

At Pest Medic, we take our legal and ethical responsibilities seriously. Every drainage expert on our team operates in strict accordance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, ensuring that all pest management is humane and legally compliant.

Finding the problem is only the first step. Our technicians are equipped to provide immediate pest proofing and sealing of discovered entry points. We use industry-leading materials that are resistant to rodent gnawing, ensuring a permanent fix. If our CCTV drain surveys reveal larger structural issues, we can advise on the best course of action for repairs, often saving you significant sums by targeting the specific area of damage.In addition to rodent-related work, our drain inspections can identify the cause of blocked drains, recurring smells, and slow-draining sinks.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional CCTV drain inspections and rodent proofing services in Blackburn & Lancashire and across Lancashire.

How do I know if my rat problem is coming from the drains?

+

If you have caught rats but more keep appearing, or if you smell a foul, musty odour near your pipework, the drains are likely the cause. Often, you will hear noises in the walls or floorboards that seem to follow the line of your plumbing. A CCTV survey is the only way to be 100% sure.

Will a CCTV drain survey damage my pipes?

+

Not at all. The equipment we use is designed to glide through your pipes without causing any harm. It is a completely non-destructive way to inspect your drainage system. It actually helps identify potential leaks or blockages before they become major, expensive problems.

How long does a typical drain inspection take?

+

Most domestic drain inspections in Blackburn take between one and two hours. This gives us enough time to check the main lines, look for entry points, and record the footage. We provide you with the results immediately after the survey is finished.

Can you fix the pipes if you find a hole?

+

Yes. We offer various rodent proofing solutions, including the installation of high-quality rat flaps and bungs. If the damage is more severe, we can advise on the best course of action for drainage repairs to make sure the property is secure.
