Plumbing Inspection in Christiana, TN
Roughly 25% of the people who own in Christiana bought since 2018. A normal rate for a town this size, and normal is where the gaps in a standard inspection do their quiet work.
The one-paragraph answer
Turnover in Christiana sits near the middle, with 25% of owner households arriving in 2018 or later. The figure that actually matters is in the standards of practice: a home inspection covers what is visible and operable, and the buried sewer lateral is not.

When Christiana moved in
A middling turnover figure is the least informative kind, which is its own useful fact: it means you cannot infer much about any particular house from the town, and the report on the one in front of you is the only evidence that counts.
| Owner households in Christiana | Share of all owners |
|---|---|
| Moved in 2021 or later | 9% |
| Moved in 2018–2020 | 16% |
| Moved in 2010–2017 | 38% |
| Moved in before 2010 | 37% |
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25038 (tenure by year householder moved into unit), 2023 release. Universe: 3,124 occupied housing units, of which 2,794 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
Wells, pumps, pressure tanks, storage tanks and filters are excluded by both standards. On a property with its own supply, the equipment feeding the whole house sits outside the inspection carried out on it.

What it is required to cover
Both standards cover the interior drain, waste and vent system, and ASHI asks for the predominant material of the service, distribution and DWV pipes to be described. A report naming one material is describing the majority of the house, not every run in it.
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.
Before you accept a report, read what it did not have to cover against what it did. Then decide whether the drains outside need their own visit.
