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<p>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<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 52px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"grve-background-wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"grve-section grve-row-section grve-fullwidth-background grve-padding-top-1x grve-padding-bottom-1x grve-bg-none\"><div class=\"grve-container\"><div class=\"grve-row grve-bookmark grve-columns-gap-30\"><div class=\"grve-column wpb_column grve-column-1\" ><div class=\"grve-column-wrapper\" ><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"grve-background-wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"grve-section grve-row-section grve-fullwidth-background grve-padding-top-1x grve-padding-bottom-1x grve-bg-none\"><div class=\"grve-container\"><div class=\"grve-row grve-bookmark grve-columns-gap-30\"><div class=\"grve-column wpb_column grve-column-1\" ><div class=\"grve-column-wrapper\" ><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"grve-background-wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"grve-section grve-row-section grve-fullwidth-background grve-padding-top-1x grve-padding-bottom-1x grve-bg-none\"><div class=\"grve-container\"><div class=\"grve-row grve-bookmark grve-columns-gap-30\"><div class=\"grve-column wpb_column grve-column-1\" ><div class=\"grve-column-wrapper\" ><h3 class=\"grve-element grve-title grve-align-left grve-h3\" style=\"\"><span>When should you have your pipes checked?<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"grve-element grve-text\">\r\n\t\t\t<p>Pipe inspections aren\u2019t something you need to carry out every year.
