Bathtubs

[Bryce W. Jeffrey]

This question was asked back in 2005. How many inspectors out there fill the bathtub to the overflow drain?

Regards:

I disclaim the overflow on tubs in my agreement due to so many in this area that are inaccessible.

83 people have looked at this thread and only Marcel answered! I could surmise that 82 inspectors do noy check bathtubs!

never even considered it...

[Joe Funderburk, CMI]

I've done houses with 5 or more bathtubs. I suppose I could balance my checkbook while they all fill up, but I don't do it.

... or that 82 inspectors do not see value in responding to this (vaguely intended) thread!

I actually take a bath at each inspection. The laundry appliances are also run through a complete cycle while I am bathing. Kill 2 birds with one stone.

I'd heard that about you...awesome time management....

I check them the same way I check the TPR valve and main water shutoff.

That was funny Jim.

[Bob Elliott]

Please do not tell us how you inspect toilets.

[Marcel R. Cyr]

Well, Bob, I hope he checks to make sure the Black water wasn't used for the tub water instead of the potable water.
And the grey water wasn't piped in to wash his clothes.

It all ends up in the same place over time anyway.

Come to think of it ,what is the whole idea behind water conservation.
Is there not the same amount of water on this planet as 1,000 years ago.?
