Rats? Probably the sewers!

Sewer system and rats

In Montreal, there are probably millions of rats living in the sewers under the streets. Problems in urban areas almost always begin when one or more rats manage to get out of the pipes and access buildings because of an opening such as a breakage or a missing part. For example, a bad connection, a broken pipe, a missing grill or missing cap. It is therefore essential to discover anomalies in the sewer system to resolve a rat problem. For what is not apparent, a smoke or camera test is often necessary to definitively resolve a rat problem.
