Roaches can thrive in the main sewer line system. They are flexible enough to fit through any small cracks or gaps, so your drain lines and pipes provide entry points to your home. Modern plumbing is designed to keep most sewer inhabitant roaches out, but it is definitely not a system without flaws. Cockroaches can enter your home via drains as they are connected directly to the sewage system. Your shower drain, kitchen drain, and floor drain are all easy entry points for these opportunistic, invasive pests. Toilets that are well maintained and functioning are difficult to enter as they are fitted with water traps. Cockroaches prefer dark, quiet places to nestle themselves away in. This is especially true if they hear activity or loud noises, like a human walking or a pet hunting nearby. The cockroaches may be using your drain as a haven to keep themselves safe. The female may lay eggs inside your drains. If the pipes are unused, they will serve as isolated spots with firm walls. These are ideal for planting egg sacs, which can grow undisturbed. In floor drains, the pipes might also be covered in mildew, hair, or other organic waste. This can be a food source for baby roaches. Sometimes sewer scope inspections may not reveal an infestation due to the fact that the light transmitting on the camera might scare the roaches further down the line. Luckily, there are several remedies online that can help prevent this type of infestation.

Rats often live in sewer line systems, where they can travel freely and access shelter, food and water. And we tend to unwittingly attract them by discarding food and fat down drains, significantly increasing the chances of infestation. Rats can cause real problems in sewer systems because their ultra-strong teeth are capable of chewing through concrete and consequently causing considerable structural damage. Sewer line camera inspections can help determine weather or not there are sewer blockages within the system allowing for this.
Rats can move around drains and sewers with exceptional ease. They are amazing swimmers (they can tread water for three days straight!) and have hinged ribs to allow them to fit through the tightest of spaces.
