An Overview of Repipe1’s Detailed Inspection Process
Our repiping inspection process begins with a rough plumbing inspection. If necessary, City or County inspectors may conduct a lath inspection to assess all stucco openings during the drywall phase.
Once drywalling is finished, our repipe specialists will conduct a completion inspection to confirm that all work meets local codes and safety standards. With this thorough approach, Repipe1 ensures durable, efficient plumbing systems for homeowners throughout Southern California.
What Is Covered During A House Repipe Inspection?
Repipe1’s home repipe inspection process is divided into two to three main phases: rough plumbing inspection, possible lath inspection, and final inspection. During each step, city or county inspectors verify the integrity of the repiping work to ensure your plumbing system functions safely and efficiently.
Rough Plumbing Inspection
Our repipe specialists begin with a rough plumbing inspection. They carefully examine all newly installed pipes and connections before any patching or drywall work begins. This step ensures that your plumbing system is correctly installed and functioning properly.
Lath Inspection
When stucco walls are involved in the repiping process, City or County inspectors may request a lath inspection. This inspection is completed during the drywall phase to ensure correct installation of the lath—a metal mesh that supports the stucco around the new piping. This is to ensure proper waterproofing before the final layer of stucco.
Final Inspection
A final inspection is conducted after drywall installation and finishing touches are complete. With this inspection, City or County inspectors confirm that your repiping project meets all local building codes and safety standards, protecting your home from future plumbing issues.
What Permits Are Required For Repipe Inspections?
Repipe1 requires plumbing and drywall repair permits for repipe inspections. These permits ensure that our repiping work complies with local building codes and safety standards. We obtain all necessary permits on behalf of California homeowners, simplifying this process for our customers.
How Often Should Homeowners and Building Owners Get Repipe Inspections?
Homeowners and building owners should schedule repipe inspections whenever changes to their plumbing system are implemented. These inspections ensure that all new plumbing complies with local codes and maintains the safety and functionality of the property.
How Long Do Repipe Inspections Take?
Repipe inspections can typically be completed in 5 to 20 minutes depending on the scope of the inspection and any concerns that may arise. Repipe1 coordinates inspection schedules and provides homeowners with an estimated time frame, minimizing disruption to daily routines.
How Should Homeowners Prepare For The Inspection?
To prepare for repipe inspection, Repipe1 simply asks that homeowners be available to meet our inspectors. Our team will handle all permit requests, coordination, and communication with inspectors. Repipe1 provides a 2-4 hour window on the day of inspection, ensuring a straightforward process.
