PLUMBING PERMIT

You need a Plumbing Permit, when any new piping (PVC, copper, galvanized, cast iron or any other type of supply and drain lines) or re-piping work is being done. A plumbing permit is needed whenever a toilet, bathtub or sink is being replaced, moved or added. Plumbing inspectors examine the plumbing systems, including disposal systems, water supply and distribution systems, plumbing fixtures, traps, drain, waste, and vent lines. All sewer lines from house to curb connection/septic tank must be left uncovered for inspection, and all water service lines from house to street must be left uncovered. Generally, the order of inspection is: A. Rough-in Inspection: To be made after all underground piping is in place and pressure is applied, prior to covering of piping under slabs. B. Top Out Inspection: To be made after all rough piping is installed, including tubs, and the system is filled with water or pressure is applied. C. Sewer Inspection: If a new sewer connection is made, piping must be inspected prior to covering. D. Final Inspection: To be made after all plumbing work has been completed and all fixtures installed.
