So over the last year I dealt with houses with roofs with gaping holes in them, mold damage, rain damage, broken sewage pipes, stolen water heaters, an ancient electrical panel that had caught on fire, my grandmother's metal shed being stolen by a hoarder tenant, my dad also being a hoarder, and even some fun squatters.

So if you had water damage, show them that you re-plumbed the house or added water sensors.

The inspector should use a checklist covering appliances, locks, A/C, furnace, water heater, smoke detectors, electrical, plumbing, and lease violations.

It has two wells that provide water. septic is a holding tank regularly pumped  I am a mechanical contractor doing plumbing and hvac/r.

@Mario MoralesWe haven't had to replace a specific piece, but we did have to replace a small section one time after there was water that got under the flooring due to a leak.

We cleared and installed water and electric runs ourselves.

@Svend W. my brother hoses it into his lawn but I'm not a fan of this method.

The faint water stain that becomes a ceiling leak?

No shut-off valve in the unit (of course), so water starts spilling fast.Contractor rushes to shut off the main valve for the entire 40-unit building… and just like that, no one in the building has water.We call in a commercial plumber, who shows up a few hours later, opens the valve box, and drops the bomb:“The 4-inch main shut-off is completely rusted and leaking.

We have separated electric and gas, but here the water company/authorities require that you dig up the street and make the connection to the main water line in the street.
