At The Pest Company, we’re always looking for ways to improve the service we provide to our customers. That’s why we’ve recently our Yorkshire team has invested in the latest CCTV drain inspection technology—a camera with a pan and tilt head. This new tool takes our inspections to the next level, helping us find hidden issues that could otherwise go undetected.
Why Drains Matter in Pest Control
Drain faults are the most common entry point for rats. Cracks, misaligned joints, or uncapped old lines within the drainage system can provide rats with an easy route straight into your property. These faults aren’t always visible on the surface and, without specialist equipment for CCTV drain surveys, can easily be missed during a standard inspection.
CCTV drain surveys use advanced camera technology to thoroughly inspect your drainage system from the inside, identifying hidden structural defects that could serve as pest entry points. This comprehensive assessment ensures no potential access route goes undetected, making CCTV drain surveys an essential tool in effective pest prevention strategies.
What Makes the New Camera Different?
Traditional drain cameras provide a forward-facing view only. While useful, they can limit what we see. Without seeing the whole drain, its pot luck as to whether you find the fault.
Our new CCTV drain camera goes further:
Pan and tilt functionality – The camera head can rotate, giving us a complete 360° view inside the drain.
Access to lateral lines – We can now more easily explore branch lines off the main system that were previously unreachable.
Detailed fault detection – From hairline cracks to displaced joints, nothing goes unseen.
The Benefits for Our Customers
This investment isn’t just about technology—it’s about providing real value to our customers. Here’s how it helps you:
More accurate inspections – We can spot faults that other systems may miss.
Stopping long term rat infestation – By identifying entry point, this can be repaired and prevent a property from quickly being reinfested.
Peace of mind – With a clearer picture of your drainage system, you can feel confident that no hidden entry points are being overlooked.
