Home Inspection Uncovers Plugged Soil Stack

Plugged Soil Stack

I came across this on three home inspections this month. Plumbers pressure check the plumbing system for leaks prior to turning the water on in new construction.  As you can see, there is a yellow plug in the soils stack.  Sometimes they forget to remove the soil stack plugs.  One of the homes I found this on was 3 years old.  Wonder if the previous owners ever has problems with drains draining?

You were very thorough and took the time to explain every question. The home inspectors report was helpful for a single female, first time home buyer. The photo pages were beneficial in showing where repairs were needed.

Thank you for the professional and thorough home inspection. As first time home buyers, it was wonderful that you labeled the main shut off valves, and gave us a home maintenance guide. We feel comfortable knowing that you are a phone call away! Thank you for your expertise!!
