Do you have roof vents? If you live in a home, you do. The soil vents, also known as a vent stack, can let rats into your home.
Reports of rats and other rodents ending up in toilets are not urban myths. If you find a tree frog croaking in your toilet bowl, it’s unsettling to say the least. A rat in the toilet gives you even more reason to worry.
You may wonder how in the world any animal could survive the trip up through the curve of the toilet drain. You may wonder how the animal was able to enter your drain system in the first place.
If you’re curious about where the animal “doorway” is to your plumbing system, suspect your roof vent stack. Yes, it is true that animals can enter your waste pipes through cracked pipes or sewer systems below your home. However, most animals that enter the toilet do so through the roof or other plumbing vent.
There is another nasty culprit allowing rats and other rodents into your attic. Home renovation including remodels and new roofs are a big problem. When we are called out to inspect a home for noises in the attic, (sometimes after the nationwide companies’ technicians have come out), we find time and time again open vent stacks. When there has been a remodel, addition or a new roof unfortunately not all contractors and/or their employees understand how important it is to properly connect the vents stacks.
