PLUMBING INSPECTIONS

Our Plumbing Program consists of the following areas:

  1. Inspection, by permit, of installation of all residential and commercial plumbing systems.
  2. Registration of plumbing contractors.

Plumbing system installation inspections are made when plumbing systems are installed in all new homes or businesses in Medina County, or when plumbing systems are altered in existing homes or businesses.  A permit to do such plumbing work is required to be obtained from our department.  A registered plumbing contractor will determine the number of fixtures type and size(s) of pipe needed and will obtain a permit based on this information.  For installation work involving businesses, architectural drawings are required to be submitted along with a plan review fee.  Although homeowners can obtain permits to do their own plumbing installations, it has been our experience that with all of the detailed code requirements, it is oftentimes best to hire an experienced plumber.

Registration of plumbing contractors is done annually.  If you would like to know how to receive a list of registered plumbers, or if you have questions regarding plumbing installations, permits, or inspections, please contact us.
