Plumbing System Inspections covers all that an inspector is expected to know, and at the same time makes it easy to understand. By using multiple photographs and illustrations, along with a readable text, the readers will be able to clearly understand and incorporate all of the author's thoughts and ideas into their own inspection practices.
The goal of this book is to make the reader fully cognizant of what a home inspector does and does not do during the course of a general home inspection. In addition, it is the hope of the authors that you will not only know what to look for during a plumbing inspection, but you will also know how to report your findings to your clients.
