There sometimes is a fine line between doing something as a hobby where you can make a little extra money and when you need a permit to do something professionally. A plumbing permit is one of those fine lines. When it comes to this kind of permit you want to be sure that you get this for the average small project and not just the bigger ones.
Key Takeaways:
- The plumber will be required to obtain a plumbing permit application and that application must be submitted to the building department.
- When your local fire code services department comes out to inspect your newly installed sprinkler system they will check the water lines that services the backflow preventer and making sure that it’s code compliant
- It also legally ties the plumber to the work he or she has performed and ensures accountability.
“It allows a qualified inspector with the city to review the work that has been done. This makes sure it has been installed safely and in a functional manner that meets local and international code requirements.”
