There are a number of inspections required in each of the four codes (building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing). Therefore, you must call us when you are ready for each type of inspection. Work must not proceed before the job is inspected and approved to continue.

When scheduling the rough-in or final structural inspection, other inspections (plumbing, electrical, mechanical) must be approved and all work must be completed. A final requires finish trim and hardware, finish coverings for walls and floors, railings, address affixed to building, rough landscape, etc. If more than one (1) final inspection is required, additional inspection fees of $25.00 per visit will be charged.

Building Inspections

Foundation : Between the time the forms for the footings are set and before and concrete is poured. If the forms are in the wrong place, it is MUCH cheaper to move forms than concrete. If you do not have an approval of the forms, you pour at YOUR OWN RISK.

Rough-in : When framing is completed, BEFORE drywalling and AFTER electrical, plumbing and mechanical final inspection.

Final : When project is complete and ready for occupancy and AFTER electrical, plumbing and mechanical final inspections.

Electrical

Temporary Service : When temporary service is complete and ready for hookup.

Permanent Service : When permanent service is complete and ready for hookup.

Final : When all fixtures are set, plates are on and the building is ready to be occupied.

Mechanical

Underground : If anything is to be covered by dirt or concrete.

Rough-in : If anything is in walls (including ducts or chimneys) before drywalling.

Gas Pressure Test : If required

Final : When furnace and/or air conditioning is completed and operating and you are ready to occupy.

Plumbing

Underground : When pipes are all run in ground BEFORE you backfill or pour concrete.

Rough-in : When pipes are all run in walls, BEFORE drywalling, also drainage lines in ceiling of basement BEFORE covering.
