Plumbing inspectors re rural location?

[Bocephus123]

My understanding is if not in any municipality then the only thing that has to be inspected is a septic system. That would be by a state inspector.

Not True but my 2 cents all emp and structural is supposed to be .

 

[Bocephus123]

Brush up on state law that's not my understanding! (i could be wrong though).

 

[Plumber guy]

If outside city jurisdiction it would fall under state inspectors. You could call and try to schedule one to come look at it, but generally state inspectors are looking at bigger job settings

State law requires all buildings, homes, etc,, meet national building codes by law!! not saying it gets done!! outside a city falls on state inspectors. again yes its law does it get done probably not!! dad did mostly Rual. homes!!

 

[Plumber guy]

If the work was done by licensed contractor he would need to make arrangements for inspection.

I build a cabin on some property I owned, bought the permit, plumbed, wired and did the entire deal and no one came out from the country, state or anywhere. I did make a mistake by omitting a P trap but worked that out.

Whoever delivers your propane will inspect for leaks typically at no cost if repairs/upgrades were made. Might be worth getting your tank filled and ask them to inspect for leaks.

:finger: I live in far northwest OKC and had to replace one of my water heaters a few years ago. Got a plumber and he pulled a permit put in the water heater and everythings ok and working. Called in for an inspection and crickets. Like everyone one else the less to do with the guberment is a good thing so l kept waiting on the "inspector" who finally showed up at my door without any notice and "demanded" to inspect the installation ........so ok there it is. It passed and Wilber signed it off and being a smart ass l asked him why it took so long and the reply was we are busy so l said you're busy but me and my family have been at risk waiting on your sorry asses..........he got a huffy as l walked him to his truck.

Have had to replace both water heaters since then but I'm not paying for a permit (tax) to have hot water .............fukem.......

nobody just comes out.. you or your contractors are required by law to inspect.. BUT nobody does most the time.
