We have had a five month issue where a Devonport rat trap was partially blocked: all outlets were thus blocked by open sewage combined with inches of flood water on occasion. Today a gentleman from Metro rod called Andy fixed the entire mess within half an hour, in truly appalling weather conditions. My thanks to him. Also two other good lads who arranged a tanker. More power to your elbow, Andy. Thank you.

Ben attended our shopping centre today..sep 27th,2025. Absolutely amazing service. Arrived with a smile, wasn't fazed by the problem and got stuck in. Service was brilliant, drains unblocked, and a very grateful shop owner and maintenance team. Would definitely recommend this company.

“Outstanding customer service, Ricki, the service engineer told us exactly what he was going to do and kept us informed at every step of the works, he was very thorough and found the blockage and descaled the remaining pipes whilst there, Ricki was very Knowledgeable and his customer service skills were impeccable, he tided up after he had finished and was very pleasant to chat to, a very refreshing experience and would highly recommend using this service again, many thanks, cheers.”

Drain Interceptors FAQ

Why are Drain Interceptors needed?

Drain interceptors are essential for controlling contaminants in surface water. They are designed to collect and hold on to oil, petrol and other pollutants to allow the water to pass through the system and into the main sewer line.

What are other names for Drain Interceptors?

Drainage interceptors can also be called interceptor traps, interceptor tanks, oil separators, petrol interceptors and filter tanks. These systems all essentially carry out the same task, separating contaminants from wastewater but are sometimes called different names.

Do Drain Interceptors stop rats?

Preventative measures, including valves, barriers and traps, can help your drain interceptor stay protected from rat entry. Rats are great climbers and swimmers, making it through small pipes, tight bends, and areas with lots of water flow. So while it may take longer, it may not necessarily be stopped by an interceptor system on its own without other preventative measures.

What are Drain Interceptor Alarm and Monitoring systems?

Drain interceptors can be fitted with alarm and monitoring systems that remotely assess how full the system is and give feedback to you on whether it is working effectively. These alarms or monitoring systems can tell you specifically if too high a proportion of a contaminant is reaching the second or third tank within the system or if a tank contains a specified amount of pollutant.
