Plumbing Inspection in Silver Springs, FL
Owner-occupied homes in Silver Springs change hands often: 32% 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 Silver Springs, where 32% 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 Silver Springs moved in
A town that moves this much has a lot of reports in circulation, and reports get reused as reassurance long after the visit. What was outside the scope on the day is still outside it now.
| Owner households in Silver Springs | Share of all owners |
|---|---|
| Moved in 2021 or later | 3% |
| Moved in 2018–2020 | 29% |
| Moved in 2010–2017 | 34% |
| Moved in before 2010 | 34% |
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25038 (tenure by year householder moved into unit), 2023 release. Universe: 5,080 occupied housing units, of which 3,604 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
Both standards state that an inspection is not technically exhaustive and covers readily accessible, visually observable systems. That sentence is not a disclaimer at the end of the report. It is the definition of what was bought.

What it is required to cover
Sump pumps are in scope on both standards — InterNACHI for drainage pumps with an accessible float, ASHI for sewage ejectors and sump pumps. Accessible is the whole qualifier. A float nobody can reach is not a float anybody tested.
The covered list in full. Most people read the exclusions and stop; the two only mean anything against each other.
What to do about it
Write down where the main water shut-off and the main fuel shut-off are. InterNACHI requires both locations to be described, and they are the two most useful lines in the document.
The two standards are published in full and worth ten minutes: what is excluded, what is covered, and why the drains outside the house are a separate instruction.
