Smoke Testing

We provide fast, effective rat control to remove infestations from your home safely. Our team also seals entry points to help prevent rats from coming back

Service overview

Smoke testing is an effective method used by ERAT to detect hidden entry points in drainage systems that may allow rats to access your property. During the process, a safe, non-toxic smoke is introduced into the drains, which travels through the pipework and escapes through cracks, gaps, or broken connections. This makes it easy to identify faults in the drainage system that cannot be seen during a standard inspection. By locating these hidden defects, our team can recommend targeted repairs and proofing solutions to stop rats entering your home.
