Planning & EstimatingQuestion 305 of 360
When exactly is the final plumbing inspection normally performed?
a.Before the underground piping is covered
b.After all fixtures and appurtenances are installed and the system is complete and operational
c.Halfway through the rough-in
d.Before the permit is issued
Explanation
The final inspection occurs when all fixtures, trim, and appurtenances are set and the system is fully operational, so the inspector can verify complete, code-compliant work and proper function. It follows the underground and rough-in approvals. Scheduling it too early, before fixtures are set, results in an incomplete inspection and a re-inspection fee.
