Galvanized piping has a 20 to 40 year life. Some plastic piping may experience premature failure. Valves are not operated during this inspection. This inspection is limited to and pertains to readily visible items only. Systems or parts of systems located within the walls are not evaluated. Functional flow---A reasonable flow at the highest fixture in a dwelling when another fixture is operated simultaneously. Functional drainage---A drain is functional when it empties in a reasonable amount of time and does not overflow when another fixture is drained simultaneously.
