The Leading Cause Of Rat Infestations In Homes And Properties Across Northern Ireland Is Defective Drainage Systems.

Rat Alert Specializes In Identifying And Rectifying These Defects.

25/09/2026

We were back with Brian Kelly Environmental this week after rats had gained access to a domestic property through uncapped redundant pipework that had been left in place following a recent renovation.

Our drain survey also uncovered some badly fractured sections of pipework, which were subsequently repaired to help prevent further issues and ensure the drainage system was left in good condition.

We carried out repairs at this property this week. The property had been experiencing ongoing rat issues for several years. It had previously been surveyed by another company last year, where no issues were identified. Despite this, the homeowner was sold a drain valve. 🤔

Around 12 months later, the rats returned — this time in numbers.

A perfect example of why we believe in finding the problem, fixing the cause, and not simply plastering over the cracks. 🐀🔧

Some repair work carried out today in Belfast. One of these repairs was under a kitchen floor, where we sent in a rat-proof liner beneath the extension to repair and seal the pipework. This closes the door on the local rat population making its way into the property from the drainage system. 🐀

Some recent work completed following a drain survey at a domestic property in Banbridge for a customer of Active Pest Management.

This property had been experiencing recurring rat infestations over the past few years.

Following the drain survey, several issues were identified within the drainage system that were contributing to the ongoing problem.

The necessary repairs were carried out, and the ground was fully reinstated on completion, to prevent further unwanted guests from within the drainage system.🐀

This week, we carried out non-dig repairs at a commercial property in Downpatrick after a recent drain survey.

The main issues were poorly capped redundant pipework and damaged benching within a manhole, both of which were providing rats with an opportunity to enter the building.

We repaired the damaged benching to restore the manhole to prevent any further problems.

To seal off the redundant pipework, we installed a rat-proof liner through a Y-junction. This allows the live section of pipework to continue functioning as normal while permanently blocking rats from accessing the redundant connection – all without any excavation. 🪏🐀

Working alongside Averminator Pest Control on this one 🐀🚫

During a recent drain survey in Saintfield, we uncovered a defective connection and gully. Rats had gnawed through a plastic reducer where the small-bore pipework connects to the 4-inch pipework, creating a route into the property from the drainage system.

A rat burrow was also located nearby, created by rats burrowing out from beneath the property.

The team carried out rat-proof repairs to the damaged section, sealing off the entry point into the property and closing the door on any further unwanted visitors.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another 5-Star Review

We are delighted to receive another 5-star review from a valued customer.

Across Northern Ireland, one of the most common causes of recurring rat infestations in properties is a defective drainage system. Rats are excellent climbers and swimmers, often exploiting damaged drains and uncapped redundant pipework to gain access to properties unnoticed.

During our survey of this property, we identified an uncapped redundant section of drainage that had been left in place following the relocation of a toilet. This created a direct access route from the drainage system into the property, allowing rats to enter undetected.

Thankfully, the issue was relatively minor and was resolved with a straightforward repair, effectively sealing the entry point and preventing any further unwanted visitors.

We were recently called to a property experiencing ongoing rat activity. Following a detailed survey of the drainage system, we identified an uncapped section of drainage left beneath a porch extension — effectively providing rats with a hidden access route directly into the property.

The team exposed the uncapped pipework and securely capped the redundant section of drainage to eliminate the entry point. The ground was then fully reinstated.

Rat issues often originate from drainage systems, which is why a thorough survey is crucial for a long-term solution. 🐀

🚧🔧 Another successful repair completed! 🔧🚧

We recently carried out repairs to a fractured pipe causing recurring blockages beneath a busy local bar. Instead of traditional excavation methods, we used a non-dig lining solution to quickly and efficiently resolve the issue.

✅ No digging required
✅ No disruption to the bar’s daily operations
✅ Cost-effective solution for the customer

Trenchless technology allowed us to restore the pipe from an external manhole, saving time, reducing mess, and keeping the business running smoothly throughout the entire process.

Sure, whoever is going to see it. 👀

About 80 per cent of the defects we encounter that allow rats to leave pipework and enter a property are due to uncapped, redundant pipework, usually left under extensions during the construction phase. In some instances, this issue arises from the standard of the installation of the drainage system, and today was one of those cases. 🧐
