Born and Bred in the Neath Valley

When you need a CCTV drain survey in Neath, you need someone who understands our local infrastructure. I grew up in the valley and know every nook and cranny of the drainage networks here — from the deep-set Victorian clay pipes in older terraces of Resolven to the modern PVC systems in Cimla and Skewen.

Why Rats Love Neath's Drainage Systems

Neath and the surrounding valleys have a mixture of old Victorian clay pipes and modern PVC. Over time, ground movement, tree roots and wear lead to cracks, displaced joints and open junctions. For a rat, a 20mm gap is an open door. Once they exit the pipe, they follow warm air currents behind wall cavities, ending up in your loft or kitchen.

The Failure of Traditional Baiting

Traditional pest control relies on poison, but this leaves the "front door" open. New rats from the main sewer line detect vacant territory and move in within weeks. This is why residents in **Resolven**, **Skewen** and **Briton Ferry** report "seasonal" rat problems. A CCTV survey identifies the structural fault, allowing for a permanent fix.

What My High-Definition Survey Identifies

As an Ex-Pestokil specialist, I use industry-leading cameras to inspect every inch of your lines. We look for:

  • Redundant Junctions: Old pipes left behind after extensions (very common in Neath Valley renovations).
  • Displaced Joints: Gaps between pipe sections caused by local ground subsidence.
  • Burrow Holes: Evidence of rats tunneling through the soil surrounding your pipes.
  • Incorrect Venting: Stack pipes that allow rats to climb directly into your roof space.
  • Root Intrusion: Tree roots breaking into clay pipes (common in rural Glynneath & Crynant).

Installing Stainless Steel Rat Blockers

Once the entry point is confirmed, we don't need to dig up your garden. We use **No-Dig Technology**. I install professional-grade, dual-flap stainless steel rat blockers (Non-Return Valves) via existing access points.

Unlike plastic alternatives which rats can chew through in minutes, these high-grade steel units are impenetrable. They allow waste to flow out of your house, but the heavy-duty flaps remain locked against any upstream rodent movement. This is a **permanent, poison-free solution**.

Commercial Drainage Protection in SA10 & SA11

For businesses in **Briton Ferry**, **Neath Abbey** and **Skewen**, a rat infestation can be a public health disaster. I provide full site drainage mapping, CCTV reports and proofing for warehouses, restaurants and food premises. By securing the perimeter at the manhole level, we ensure your internal environment remains sterile and compliant.
