Rat building and drain surveys
Rats often get into buildings through defective drainage pipes as well as building exterior defects. Rats can then gain entry via a variety of routes once inside the fabric of the building.
SUPERPROOF overcomes these problems by carrying out a comprehensive building and drain survey.
We use sophisticated remote-access CCTV survey cameras to record HD video of a property’s drains and to inspect hard-to-reach voids in a building’s structure.
The video identifies defective pipes and structural gaps that give rats points of entry into properties, and to plan effective repairs and rat proofing measures.

Rat proofing - protection that works
Based on our thorough rat survey, SUPERPROOF carries out rat proofing needed to stop rats from getting into a property.
This work can include use of innovative rat valves. This is a specially-designed stainless steel box placed on a rat run into a property that allows rats to leave, but prevents them from getting back in.
Other rat exclusion measures include:
- Installing rat barriers in drain pipes
- Filling voids with tough rat-resistant proofing materials
- Installing specialist rat seals on doors
- Removing nesting sites in areas around properties

Rat Control
domestic homes
Rat infestations can be a significant drain on the income of private landlords and can significantly hamper a homeowner’s ability to sell their property.
A major but often overlooked risk for rat control in domestic properties is building renovation and the construction of extensions.
These water-free pipes can give an ideal hidden access point for rats. The problem is made worse by modern building techniques which can create cavities and voids in building fabric that allow rats to burrow in and make themselves at home.
Without the expertise and equipment that SUPERPROOF can bring to bear, finding these access points can be difficult, giving time for rat infestations to take serious hold.
When houses are extended or adapted, old drainage systems are almost always left in place. In some cases, they may not even be capped off.

Rats will often target commercial properties that give them the richest food sources, including restaurants, food shops and food warehouses. These are also the businesses with the greatest reputational risk when rat control goes wrong.
Rat Control
commercial premises
Rat control in commercial premises can be even more challenging than in private homes. Where businesses are located in older conjoined premises, there may be dozens of entry points for rats.
In new buildings, the biggest risk is often modern building techniques which create cavities and voids rats can move around and live in – and use material that rats can easily chew through or burrow around.
Rats will often target commercial properties that give them the richest food sources, including restaurants, food shops and food warehouses. These are also the businesses with the greatest reputational risk when rat control goes wrong.
