The video above shows rodents entering through an uncapped rodding eye on an interceptor trap in a domestic manhole (we also offer Manhole Cover Replacement. We installed a Rodent Guard plug and cable in the rodding eye, solving the problem. There are a large number of uncapped interceptor traps throughout Dublin and surrounding counties, and this gives the rodent population easy access to private domestic drainage systems. The photo to the right shows a Rodent Guard plug installed correctly in an interceptor manhole chamber.

Easy to Install Rodent Flap

There has been a big increase in rodent activity in Dublin and the surrounding counties over the last ten years. This is due to large expansion of housing developments and the limitations on using poisons to control the Rodent population.

We advise installing Rodent Flaps / rat flap to private drainage systems as a preventative maintenance solution. The Rodent Flaps are easy to install, and their unique and robust design completely houses the flap in a stainless steel body, ensuring it is not obstructed or squashed during installation, guaranteeing the free, easy movement of the flap.

They can be installed in existing manholes or access chambers. If you are worried or need help or advice with any of these issues, send us an email or phone, and we will be happy to help.

Just had Declan out today to perform a full clean of all lines and a CCTV survey. He was very efficient, arrived on time and his rates were great value compared to other quotes i had received. There were no hidden costs, what we agreed before was the price charged. I would have no problem recommending A1 Drains to any friend and family members and I would 100% call Declan if I ever needed drains sorted again. A true gentleman in every sense of the word.

Honest, professional and neat job.

One of the team turned up on time and said that cover I had asked for was not appropriate for heavy traffic so he recommended a stronger more sturdy cover. He went off to get it and came back and fitted it.

Honestly very impressed with the job done. Photo showing before and after.

Delighted to write a great review and would easily recommend them to anyone considering getting work done.
