Are you putting off having your pipes checked?<\/span><\/h1>
<\/span><\/div>
\r\n\t\t\t

Checking the pipes may not be at the top of most people\u2019s to-do lists at home, but the consequences can be significant if you completely overlook it. We\u2019ll explain why you shouldn\u2019t put off checking your pipes!<\/p>\n

A pipe inspection can save you a lot of money. Over time, all pipes build up a layer of grease, chemicals and food residues. This build-up will only increase over time, and most of us aren\u2019t particularly good at thinking about maintenance and preventing blocked pipes in our day-to-day lives.<\/p>\n

By carrying out a pipe inspection, you\u2019ll be able to monitor the condition of your pipes and carry out any necessary repairs if required. This way, you can go to bed at night with a clear conscience and without worrying about any pipe-related problems. After all, you are responsible for ensuring that the drainpipes from your house \u2013 also known as the service pipe \u2013 are in good condition.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t

When should you have your pipes checked?<\/span><\/h3>
\r\n\t\t\t

Pipe inspections aren\u2019t something you need to carry out every year. It\u2019s generally sufficient to check your pipes every 10 years. Feel free to consult local professionals for advice on when you should carry out your next pipe inspection, as this may depend on various factors in your area.<\/p>\n

If you have purchased a property that is more than 30 years old, it is recommended that you have the pipework inspected, unless there is documentation to show that this has recently been carried out.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t
