Plumbing Inspection in Timnath, CO
Owner-occupied homes in Timnath change hands often: 54% of the people who own here moved in during 2018 or later. Where houses move, inspections happen, and so do the arguments about what the report found.
The one-paragraph answer
Inspection reports are common in Timnath, where 54% of owners arrived in 2018 or later and houses change hands often. What is not common is reading the exclusions: both published standards of practice leave the buried sewer lateral outside the inspection.

When Timnath moved in
On a turnover figure this high, most owners here bought recently enough that the inspection is within memory. The useful question is what was excluded from it, because that list has not changed and neither has the house.
| Owner households in Timnath | Share of all owners |
|---|---|
| Moved in 2021 or later | 7% |
| Moved in 2018–2020 | 47% |
| Moved in 2010–2017 | 40% |
| Moved in before 2010 | 6% |
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25038 (tenure by year householder moved into unit), 2023 release. Universe: 2,674 occupied housing units, of which 2,257 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
Fire suppression and sprinkler systems are outside the inspection. In a house that has one, the system most likely to matter in an emergency is the one nobody was asked to look at.

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 covered list in full. Most people read the exclusions and stop; the two only mean anything against each other.
What to do about it
Write down where the main water shut-off and the main fuel shut-off are. InterNACHI requires both locations to be described, and they are the two most useful lines in the document.
Before you accept a report, read what it did not have to cover against what it did. Then decide whether the drains outside need their own visit.
