5 most common plumbing code violations
Improper slope
Drain pipes need gravity to properly empty of water towards the sewer. Improper pitch can allow for leaks and/or a slow draining of a sink or basin.
Not enough clean-outs
The cleanout is the maintenance access port for a plumbing system. The number of cleanouts depends on the size of the system.
Improperly placed clean-outs
Cleanouts should be placed in such a way that they won’t be covered by casements, cabinets or machinery.
Improper Fittings
Pipe direction changes must be made with fittings that will not cause an obstruction in flow.
Not enough space around the toilet
There is a minimum distance required between the toilet and a finished wall.
