A rat has gnawed through the pipe at the back of our downstairs loo, and caused a sewage leak! 🤢
It was one of those plastic kind of concertina bendy pipes. Just a short section. Called the pest control guy who says this is v common and in his opinion those pipes should never be used!
Anyway plumber is coming to repair that asap, and replace with a rat-proof solid pipe. But the issue we don't know how to deal with is cleaning up where raw sewage has gone on bare timber (back of a stud wall). It sat there for a day probably before we noticed the smell and started to deal with it, so it will have soaked in.
At the mo we've sprayed bleach around and then chucked some cat litter down to try and absorb...
But without dismantling the stud wall and rebuilding with fresh timber, is there something we can use to clean this?
Feel like there could be some specialist product we don't know about...
(We also don't know if the rat has escaped into the house - can't see any signs but that's a separate problem!)
