What an Independent Rough-In Inspection Checks
- Proper venting — every fixture needs adequate venting to drain correctly and prevent sewer gas from entering the house; venting problems are common and not always caught by a general inspection.
- Correct pipe slope — drain lines need consistent fall toward the main line; incorrect slope causes chronic slow drainage that's very difficult to diagnose once the wall is closed.
- Solid, correctly-oriented connections — joints and fittings assembled correctly, not just present.
- Pipe sizing appropriate to fixture load — undersized lines can cause drainage problems that only show up once the home is in daily use.
- Support and securing — pipes properly strapped and supported so they won't shift, sag, or create stress points over time.

How This Differs From the Municipal Building Inspection
A municipal inspection confirms the work meets code — a necessary and important check, but a single inspector covering an entire build on a tight schedule isn't the same as a plumbing-focused, unhurried second look specifically at the plumbing rough-in. Both serve a purpose; they're not a substitute for each other.
Why This Is Worth the Extra Step, Even on a New Build
New construction isn't automatically free of plumbing issues — rough-in work happens fast, often across many trades on a tight schedule, and even careful builders can have something slip through. The cost of an independent inspection at rough-in stage is small compared to the cost of correcting a slope or venting issue after the home is finished and lived in.
