ResidenƟal InspecƟon DefiniƟons Plumbing Underground: InspecƟon of all drainage and water service and distribuƟon piping, sleeves, and protectants that are to be covered up under the slab of the building. All parts of the piping systems must be visible and under required test pressure. See IPC FooƟng: InspecƟon of the fooƟng to include depth, bearing strength of soil, any reinforcement required, etc. See IRC R403 Monolithic Slab: InspecƟon of all parts of the foundaƟon including but not limited to soils, fooƟng depth, reinforcement requirements, slab preparaƟon, etc. See IRC R403, R506 Slab: InspecƟon of the slab preparaƟon including fill, base, vapor retarder, reinforcement, etc. See IRC R506 FoundaƟon Wall: InspecƟon of the foundaƟon wall preparaƟon including placement, reinforcement, forms, height, etc. See IRC R404 Rebar Ground: InspecƟon of the rebar or conductor that will make up the concrete encased electrode for the required grounding electrode system. Done as part of the Monolithic Slab or FooƟng InspecƟons. See NEC 250.52. Deck FooƟng: InspecƟon of piers or fooƟngs to support decks and/or deck stairs. Includes inspecƟon of soil bearing pressure, reinforcement, dimensions, etc. See IRC R507.3 CombinaƟon Rough InspecƟon: Complete inspecƟon of all trades to include framing, electrical, mechanical, gas and plumbing. • Rough Mechanical/Gas: InspecƟon of all parts of the mechanical, HVAC, and gas piping systems. All ducƟng, duct insulaƟon, piping, piping insulaƟon, fire blocking, control wiring, and all other mechanical system components must be in place, completed, supported properly, with required pressure tests applied, and flues and vents are stubbed through roof and weather capped. Should be scheduled at same Ɵme as Rough Electrical. See IRC Chapters 12 – 24 • Rough Electrical: InspecƟon of all components of the electrical systems. All service cable, branch circuit distribuƟon wiring, and low voltage wiring should be in place and stubbed into boxes set and secured to the structure; properly bonded and grounded; required conduit is in place and fastened properly; wiring is protected from physical damage; required fire blocking is in place. Should be scheduled at same Ɵme as Rough Mechanical. See NEC • Rough Plumbing: InspecƟon of all components of drainage, waste, vent, and water service and distribuƟon piping systems. All piping should be in place, supported, and protected from physical Setback/BMP: Inspection of the extents of the structure to ensure location does not cross setback or build lines. Ensure exterior wall fire rating requirements for proximity to property line are being met per R302.1. Ensure compliance with Best Management Practices(BMP) for soil erosion. ---PAGE BREAK--- damage; all fixture connecƟons are made; all piping insulaƟon installed; required pressure tests are applied; all boots and flashings installed; required fire blocking in place. See IPC • Rough Framing: InspecƟon of all components of the framing, bracing, fire blocking, etc. All framing should be completed and uncovered. Structure should be dried in and weather protected. All exterior walls and gabled ends are covered with weather protecƟve barriers. Doors and windows are installed, sealed, and insulated around; all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough installs are complete. When necessary, all fire raƟng requirements are completed, all parts of air barriers and air sealing are complete. Nothing is to be covered without County approval. See IRC and IECC with Georgia State Supplements Fire Wall/Barrier InspecƟon: InspecƟon of all components of separaƟon wall between townhomes. All parts must be properly installed without defects per the manufacturer’s instrucƟons; if common wall must follow all prescripƟons for construcƟon of common wall; approved firestopping for penetraƟons through common walls; fire blocking required at floor and ceiling levels of any fur walls along with horizontal fire blocking 10’ O.C. InsulaƟon: InspecƟon of all required insulaƟon of the building thermal envelope that will not be accessible at final inspecƟon. Includes verificaƟon of require R-values and installaƟon of insulaƟon per Appendix RA of the Georgia State Supplements and Amendments to the 2015 IECC. Temp to Perm: InspecƟon of safety requirements for energizing the building. The intent of this inspecƟon is to ensure that the building can be safely energized by the power company. CombinaƟon Final InspecƟon: Complete inspecƟon of all trades to include framing, electrical, mechanical, gas and plumbing. • Final Mechanical: InspecƟon of all completed components of the mechanical, HVAC, and gas piping systems. All public uƟliƟes are connected; all appliances are installed and in full operaƟon; hook-ups for future connecƟons are terminated in approved manner and labeled as such when required; all controls, compressors, condensate drains, insulaƟon, Ɵes and supports, and other system designed components are in place and fully connected; all final trim and required labeling is in place; installaƟon is ready for its intended use. Should be scheduled at same Ɵme as Final Electrical. See IRC Chapters 12 – 24 • Final Electrical: InspecƟon of all completed components of the electrical systems and devices. All public uƟliƟes are connected; all installed electrical systems are in full operaƟon; all equipment, motors, appliances, fixtures, controls, guards and other related systems are tested and labeled; hook-ups for future connecƟons are terminated in approved manner and labeled as such when required; completed electrical installaƟon is ready for its intended use. See NEC • Final Plumbing: InspecƟon of all completed drainage, waste, vent, and water service and distribuƟon piping systems and fixtures. All plumbing fixtures are installed, operaƟonal, and in correct locaƟons with proper clearances and separaƟons; properly trapped and connected to drainage system; properly vented; all valves and back flow prevenƟons are in place connected to potable water system; water heaƟng and other plumbing devices and appliances are labeled, connected, vented, pressure protected, secured in place, supported, insulated and sealed as needed; hook-ups for future connecƟons are terminated in approved manner and labeled as such when required; completed plumbing installaƟons are ready for intended use.
