Thanks for your interest in this 12-hour online CE class covering the plumbing system. In this class we will cover the basics of a residential plumbing system. Problems with a home’s plumbing are easily visible to homeowners (due to the quickly rising water underfoot) and frantic calls from inspection clients can often cause a headache for a home inspector. So, it’s important to have a working knowledge of this crucial part of the home inspection process.
Please note that this course was developed and produced by Kaplan Professional, and is also taught as part of the Systems and Standards home inspection pre-licensing 100-hour course. This course was not created by Joe Cook of the American Inspection Academy (AIA), but is being made available to you by the AIA for the purpose of continuing education. This course covers the basic elements of a plumbing system that every professional home inspector should be familiar with.
