Identifier: s000816

Date: 09/11/2000

Question

Does the Standards of Practice require the main water supply piping to be described?

Response

Yes. Section 6.1.B.1 states: "The inspector shall describe the water supply, drain, waste, and vent piping materials". No specific exclusion or limitation exists with regard to water supply materials. Therefore, to the extent that the piping is readily accessible and the material identifiable, it must be described.
