Plugged Soil Stack

100_0177

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?

We used Rick for our first home and the inspection was great. It’s a very old house so we made sure to be absolutely thorough. Rick’s inspection report reflected this with photos of all the issues he found. Rick’s a great guy to boot.‎

Very pleased with the inspection process from start to finish. Findings were very specific. We learned a lot about the house that we were not aware of. You are friendly and non intimidating, just the kind of person people are hoping to work with.
