Could this be a Rat?! Whole in pan connector

[jfelstead]

Woke this morning to see water pouring out the bottom of our downstairs loo. Took a closer look and found this large whole in the pan connector. Easy enough to replace - but what could have made this hole? Is a rat the most obvious answer? See picture!

Yes quite possibly its highly unlikely that a multi Kwik type of pan connector would fail like that , I have seen Flexi type connectors chewed and have replaced a few there are products that can be fitted to prevent this happening . Kop

they see light and try to get out check drains further afield to see where they can be coming from.

Just need to find someone to fit a rodent barrier... doesn’t feel like a very appealing job to ask someone to come and do!
