Plumbing Inspection in Cave Springs, AR
About 40% of the people who own a home in Cave Springs bought it in 2018 or later. On a turnover figure that high, the question is less whether an inspection happened than what it was allowed to look at.
The one-paragraph answer
40% of owner households in Cave Springs 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 Cave Springs moved in
A town that moves this much has a lot of reports in circulation, and reports get reused as reassurance long after the visit. What was outside the scope on the day is still outside it now.

Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25038 (tenure by year householder moved into unit), 2023 release. Universe: 1,709 occupied housing units, of which 1,595 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
Water conditioning systems are excluded by ASHI outright, along with lawn irrigation, fire suppression and clothes washer connections. None of that is an inspector cutting corners; it is the published boundary of the service.

What it is required to cover
Sump pumps are in scope on both standards — InterNACHI for drainage pumps with an accessible float, ASHI for sewage ejectors and sump pumps. Accessible is the whole qualifier. A float nobody can reach is not a float anybody tested.
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
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.
Ten minutes of reading covers it: what nobody was required to look at, what they were, and the drain run that is a separate instruction altogether.
