Drain Rat Blockers in Hazlemere

Hazlemere, Holmer Green and Widmer End sit on the plateau, with a lot of bungalows and low houses on generous plots and a fair amount of drainage that was laid estate by estate.

A bungalow changes this job in one specific way that is worth knowing.

A stainless steel flap valve fitted inside a concrete drain pipe, hinged at the top, with water flowing out underneath it — The valve itself: hinged at the top, open to flow, shut against anything coming back

Bungalows

A Suspended Floor and a Short Journey

On a two-storey house a rat that gets out of a defective drain has to find a way up into the structure. On a bungalow with a suspended timber floor, it is already there: the void under the floor runs over the whole footprint, the drainage passes through or near it, and the distance from a cracked pipe to under your living room is very short.

That is why bungalow owners tend to hear it early and clearly — running and scratching directly underfoot rather than somewhere distant. It is unpleasant and it is also useful, because the problem gets found sooner.

The other bungalow feature is airbrick level. A low building has its airbricks close to the ground, sometimes partly buried by raised borders or a path that has been relaid. A buried or damaged airbrick is both a ventilation problem and a way in, and it is a route a blocker does nothing about.

Short answers

Hazlemere Questions

I can hear them directly under the floor.

Common in a bungalow, where the underfloor void runs over the whole footprint and the drainage passes near it. It tends to get found earlier as a result.

Our airbricks are half buried.

Worth dealing with. A buried or damaged airbrick is both a ventilation problem and a way in, and a drain blocker does nothing about it.
