Persistent rat activity is often linked to faults within underground drainage systems — issues that cannot be seen without specialist equipment. At Joe Day Pest Control, we combine professional pest expertise with advanced drainage technology to locate the exact rodent entry point and put permanent measures in place to stop infestations from recurring.
Our Drainage CCTV Inspection Service is designed for both domestic and commercial clients and is carried out by fully trained technicians experienced in drain-based rodent ingress.
We begin by discussing the history of the rodent activity — noises, sightings, previous treatments, and any past repair work. This gives us crucial clues about where rodents may be entering before we begin the drain inspection.
We use specialist waterproof cameras to inspect internally through:
All findings are captured via high-definition video, enabling us to identify any structural defects or evidence of rodent movement.
During the inspection, we look for:
This process allows us to determine exactly how rats are reaching your property and what is required to stop further ingress.

We supply and install:
Before installation, we ensure the correct size and positioning for optimal performance and unrestricted flow.
Whether you’re tackling a long-term rat problem or want to safeguard your property, our drain inspection and rat flap installation services provide a permanent, effective solution.
We’ll arrange a convenient visit and provide expert, practical, long-lasting rodent ingress prevention.
