Drain Rat Blockers in Dunstable

Drain Rat Blockers in Dunstable

Dunstable and Houghton Regis carry a lot of commercial and light industrial building alongside the housing, and commercial drainage is a different animal from domestic drainage.

Bigger runs, more of them, more connections, and one thing domestic systems mostly do not have: grease.

Commercial drainage

Grease Is the Difference

In a kitchen-bearing building the drainage carries fats and oils that cool and deposit on the pipe wall. Over time that narrows the bore, holds solids, and creates exactly the standing, food-rich conditions a rat population does well in.

It also makes defects likelier: a partially blocked run surcharges, and a surcharging run puts pressure on joints that were fine under normal flow.

So on commercial premises the drainage job and the pest job are usually the same job. A blocker still has its place, and so does a grease management regime, and neither substitutes for the other. There is more in drain rats in commercial premises.

Yards matter too. Gullies, open channels, unused chambers with broken covers and bin areas over drainage are all ways into the system from above, and a blocker on the outgoing pipe does nothing about a missing chamber cover in the yard.
