All homeowners know that the gutters need to be cleared of leaves in winter and that the house needs to be painted from time to time. Unfortunately, very few people realise that the pipes in their house or flat also need to be maintained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many people only realise this when the pipes become blocked or the floor is flooded. Then everyone knows that this is going to be EXPENSIVE!<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a cost that homeowners can avoid by having regular pipe inspections carried out. A pipe inspection provides a good overview of the condition of the pipework, as well as details of where the pipes are buried. You will also receive any recommendations for necessary repairs.<\/p>\n

It could save you from unpleasant and costly expenses in the future, as every year, old and faulty pipes lead to costly water damage in Norwegian homes.<\/p>\n

What are some signs that you need a pipe inspection? If you find that your pipes often become blocked, that it takes a long time for the water to drain away in the sink or shower, or that there is a foul smell coming from the pipes? If so, it might be a good idea to have the pipes in your home inspected.<\/p>\n

Vitek has extensive experience in carrying out pipe inspections.<\/p>\n

We use advanced equipment suitable for all types of main pipes, service pipes and ventilation ducts, both offshore and onshore. The measurement results are stored electronically and followed up with detailed written reports, based on the Norwegian Water Standard.<\/p>\n

Common errors we come across are:<\/h2>\n
