Great video thanks for that and the crawling effort :). One question if you can recall. Where the new pvc connects to say the toilet drain pipe or basically all connection points to drains, did they just connect sleeves to the old cast iron pipes embedded in the concrete foundation or did they somehow remove the old cast iron in the foundation and fille/replace with new pvc? if they removed old cast iron piping in foundation how would they do that?
@ArlingtonInspector
@ArlingtonInspector 6 ай бұрын
They replaced all the PVC piping under the slab. They drilled into the concrete and used hangers to make sure the slope was correct. They left the risers (pipes up through slab) in place and connected them with sleeve fitting.

@@papaalan1765 That is correct, as long as the pipe is strong enough to connect to, they normally leave it in place. Most failures occur in the lateral lines and not the risers.

Hi thanks for the great video question is there any need to backfill the dirt back in ? or just leave the tunnel as is ?
@ArlingtonInspector
@ArlingtonInspector Жыл бұрын
It is recommended to backfill the tunnel. If it is an older home with small interior and exterior beams / footers and the tunnel is long, it is recommended to add piers under the beams to help prevent settling of the beams after backfilling. The backfill will not compact that well.

What happens when you leave the home or condo water damaged as a result of this test? Will not the home/condo owner accuse you of "damaging something that was not problematic before the inspection"? You may have saved your client $5000 but in the process, you may have brought upon yourself a nice lawsuit...for something that is not within the scope of the inspection in the first place...

I was working on a flip and the owner did not want to address the electrical situation with the ungrounded outlets in the older part of the house. After an inspector working for a loan agency brought this up the sale was declined. The owner wasn't willing to spend the 7K to fix the problem so believe it or not a Realtor suggested bootlegging them. I refuse to do that. The owner didn't even like my idea of installing GFCIs at $25 a piece.
