Inspections we cover

Rough-in, water heater replacements, re-pipe, and final inspections. Each has a specific checklist for what needs to be visible and documented.

Water Heater Replacement

The simplest virtual inspection. Unit specs, T&P discharge routing, strapping or anchoring, drain pan, venting or electrical connections, and clearances. Your tech records a 3-minute video and the permit closes.

Rough-In

Pipe material, sizing, support intervals, venting, cleanouts, and test results. Needs to be inspected before walls or concrete cover the work.

Re-Pipe

Full system replacement documentation. Material specs, routing, connections, pressure test evidence, and fixture terminations.

High-volume math

If you do 15 water heater replacements a week and each one waits 3-5 days for county inspection, you always have 45-75 open permits at any given time. Virtual closes them the same day.
