Sewer Rat Removal Services
Rats Coming Up Through Sewer Lines? We Get to the Bottom of It.
If you’re hearing scratching, movement — or worse, experiencing rats coming up through toilets, drains, or kitchen plumbing — you’re not dealing with a typical rodent issue. You’re dealing with sewer rats.
Most pest control companies in Arizona rely on bait and rodenticides and hope the problem goes away.
At Critter Evictors, we focus on identifying how rodents are gaining access and permanently stopping them through professional exclusion and coordinated solutions — without using poison. If you live in Arizona we can help. Contact us today for a Free Estimate!

How Sewer Rats Enter Homes
Sewer rats travel through underground sewer systems and can access homes through:
- Compromised sewer lines
- Open or abandoned plumbing pipes
- Faulty backwater valves
- Plumbing vents
- Floor drains
- Kitchen and bathroom plumbing connections
If the access point is not properly identified and corrected, the problem will continue — no matter how much bait is used.
“Our project ended with smoking our sewer lines to finally find an entry site for rodents from an open pipe left from an old addition to our home. We are so glad that Verner and his team have this expertise and follow through… Don’t waste time or money on pest companies… Hire Critter Evictors right away for rodents and you will get to the bottom of your problem!!!!”
Why Most Pest Companies Miss Sewer Rat Problems
Traditional pest control focuses on placing bait.
But sewer rat issues often involve hidden access points connected to plumbing systems. Those entry points must be located and addressed — or rodents will keep returning.
Our team performs a detailed inspection of the attic, roofline, exterior, and accessible entry areas.
If signs indicate a sewer-related issue, we coordinate with trusted, licensed plumbing professionals to perform further diagnostics — including sewer smoke testing when necessary.
- We identify how the rodents are getting in.
- Licensed plumbers handle any plumbing corrections.
- We complete the exclusion to prevent re-entry.
That’s how you solve it the right way.
Our Sewer Rat Process
1. Detailed Property Evaluation
We inspect the attic, roofline, exterior, and accessible entry areas. We provide photo documentation so you can clearly see evidence of rodent activity.
2. Entry Identification
If sewer access is suspected, we work alongside a licensed plumbing partner to confirm the source.
3. Mechanical Trapping & Removal
We use professional mechanical trapping methods to remove active rats. We do not use poison or rodenticides.
4. Professional Exclusion
After any necessary plumbing corrections are completed by a licensed plumber, we seal vulnerable entry areas to prevent rodents from re-entering.
5. Ongoing Protection
Our exclusion work is backed by warranty coverage because we focus on solving the source of the problem — not masking it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can rats really come up through my toilet?
Yes. Sewer rats can travel through sewer systems and enter homes through toilets, drains, and plumbing connections if there is an opening somewhere in the system.
Why won’t bait solve sewer rat problems?
Bait does not correct how the rats are entering. If access remains open, new rodents can continue to enter the home.
Do you use rodenticide or poison?
No. Critter Evictors uses mechanical trapping and professional exclusion methods only. We do not rely on poison-based treatments.
Do you repair plumbing issues?
No. Critter Evictors does not perform plumbing services. When plumbing concerns are identified, we coordinate with licensed plumbing professionals to address those issues.
How do you find where sewer rats are entering?
We perform a thorough inspection of accessible areas of the home and look for evidence of activity. If needed, a licensed plumbing professional can perform additional diagnostics to confirm the source.
Stop Sewer Rats at the Source
If rats are entering your home through plumbing connections, waiting will only allow the problem to continue.
