Plumbing Inspection in Spring Hill, TN
In Spring Hill, 41% of owner households arrived in 2018 or later — a high rate, and one that means a large share of the housing has been through an inspection recently enough for somebody to remember it.
The one-paragraph answer
41% of owner households in Spring Hill moved in during 2018 or later. On a turnover rate that high the question is rarely whether an inspection happened but what it was allowed to cover, and the buried sewer lateral is excluded by both standards of practice.

When Spring Hill 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 Spring Hill | Share of all owners |
|---|---|
| Moved in 2021 or later | 10% |
| Moved in 2018–2020 | 31% |
| Moved in 2010–2017 | 36% |
| Moved in before 2010 | 23% |
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25038 (tenure by year householder moved into unit), 2023 release. Universe: 19,014 occupied housing units, of which 14,165 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
The fixtures are a live test rather than a look. InterNACHI requires the inspector to run the water at every faucet, flush every toilet, and check that every sink, tub and shower drains; ASHI requires functional flow and functional drainage. If a fault shows up in ordinary use, this is the part of the inspection that finds it.
The full list of obligations is published here. Reading it once is what stops a standard note from looking like a finding.
What to do about it
Where a report says a condition was observed but its extent could not be established, that is the sentence to act on. It means the boundary of the inspection was reached, not that the problem is small.
Everything above comes from documents you can read yourself: the exclusions, the requirements, and why a camera down the lateral is never part of it.
