Right?! I’m a bit anxious cause the county requires 5 inspections during construction. Wasn’t bad but now we have a brand new guy they hired from Seattle… I know how this is gonna go
If they write up some jibber jabber like this let me know how you do "The water heater may very well be installed properly" as they hit it
The water heater in the garage is not elevated 18 inches above the garage floor. Elevating the water heater helps prevent potential hazards such as flammable vapors from igniting. It is recommended to contact a qualified plumber to evaluate and repair this issue to ensure safety standards are met. ***Washington state home inspection standards dictate all water heaters regardless of ignition source need to be elevated off the garage floor 18 inches. *** However, this water heater may very well be installed correctly, consult with a plumbing professional for local codes, dictating the installation of this water heater. This inspector is required by Washington state standards to list this water heater as not elevated off the garage floor, even if a plumbing professional states there are no issues with this installation type. We defer to the plumbing professionals knowledge on this subject and local codes.
