Rodent non return flap installation

We identify and seal gaps, vents, and access points that rats use to enter your home. This proofing work helps prevent future infestations and keeps your property protected

Service overview

Rodent non-return flap installation is an effective solution used by ERAT to prevent rats from travelling through drainage systems and entering your property. The device is professionally installed inside the drain pipe and allows wastewater to flow out while blocking rats from coming back up the line. Our technicians carefully assess the drainage system to ensure the correct size and type of flap is fitted for long-term reliability. This simple but highly effective solution helps protect homes by stopping rats at the source before they can gain access indoors.

Details

The Non return flap is a one way mechanism thats installed on any pipe work that may be used by rodents as ratruns back into your home from the public mains.
