English term
water rat-proof base
Proposed translations
Socle à l'épreuve des rongeurs et de l'humidité
Obviously it refers to all rodents that are feeling at ease in the warmth of a washing-machine's back.....

Il faut installer des dispositifs de protection, comme des sorties de vidange à l'épreuve des rongeurs et des portes hermétiques.

: water rats = drain rats ?

Thanks - I think so - many species are possible in French, but you need the water-loving kind (not all of them are)

: Si c'est vraiment "water rat" c'est le plus probable mais je vois les rats attaquer le tuyau plus que le socle?

oui, mais les tuyaux passent par le socle...

Discussion
the trough is 250 litre, rot proof polymer.
"rot proof cotton canvas"
We are talking about a steel washing machine, not a polymer washing machine, not a canvas washing machine.
rot-proof steel is plain silly
"Outer off made of water rot proof cotton canvas white of dyed whereas the inner roof is made of two folds (canvas sheeting)" etc.... It could definitively be a typo...
And water-rot does not make sense
I have seen more washing machine suffering from rusting and rot on their base (a number make them out of plastic for this reason) than from rats?
"Maybe Tom and I misunderstood you or vice versa. Rats will eat almost everything if they are hungry, even hose. They will eat rat bait long before the hose so the bait will attract them before they nibble on your hose. I assumed the $400 was to repair the washer and everything else that got damages when the water shot out of the eaten hose. A new machine isn't needed in this situation and they'd eat the new hose too so try the bait."
