Plumbing Inspection in Evans, CO
Owner-occupied homes in Evans change hands often: 31% of the people who own here moved in during 2018 or later. Where houses move, inspections happen, and so do the arguments about what the report found.
The one-paragraph answer
Inspection reports are common in Evans, where 31% of owners arrived in 2018 or later and houses change hands often. What is not common is reading the exclusions: both published standards of practice leave the buried sewer lateral outside the inspection.

When Evans moved in
Where houses move this often, inspections are a familiar part of the process and the risk shifts. It stops being whether one was done and becomes whether anyone understood what it was not required to cover.
| Owner households in Evans | Share of all owners |
|---|---|
| Moved in 2021 or later | 6% |
| Moved in 2018–2020 | 25% |
| Moved in 2010–2017 | 36% |
| Moved in before 2010 | 33% |
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25038 (tenure by year householder moved into unit), 2023 release. Universe: 6,427 occupied housing units, of which 4,414 are owner-occupied. This counts when the CURRENT occupant moved in, so it measures recent moves as a share of the housing stock — not a rate of sales per year.
What the inspection will not cover
ASHI asks for the predominant material of the water service, distribution and drain-waste-vent pipes to be described. Predominant is an honest word for a house that has been altered more than once, and it is not a complete answer about any single run.

What it is required to cover
ASHI requires the energy source and vent system of the water heating equipment to be covered, and InterNACHI requires the same ground from the other direction. Where the two standards overlap is the part of the report you can rely on whichever association the inspector belongs to.
Worth ten minutes before you read your own report: everything the two standards require, in the order an inspector does it.
What to do about it
If you are selling, establish it before somebody else does. The same finding is worth more to a buyer who discovered it than to one who was told.
Both standards are public. Start with the exclusions, then the obligations, and read the sewer scope separately — it is ordered on its own for a reason.
