WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF A RODENT INFESTATION IN YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS?
When your domestic, commercial or industrial property suffers from a rodent infestation, it can cause all kinds of problems to develop. A rodent infestation can, in the worst cases, cause long-term property damage. Even minor damages caused by a chewing rat can lead to serious structural issues further down the line.
Over time, rodents can chew through pipes, cause connections to loosen and allow waste water and human waste to escape your drains. Holes in pipes, walls and floors can all be signs of a rodent infestation in your property.
It is possible for these damages to result in a wide range of serious problems developing. These can include flooding in your home or business, in addition to standing water across your property. Foul smells are common and can be extremely irritating, or even harmful, in some situations.
It is common for the escaping waste water to cause damp, mould and water-logging to appear across your building. In the worst cases, this can cause structural damage to your foundations. This kind of damage can be extremely costly to repair.
