Plumbing Inspection in Leesburg, FL
About 32% of the people who own a home in Leesburg 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
32% of owner households in Leesburg 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 Leesburg 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 Leesburg | Share of all owners |
|---|---|
| Moved in 2021 or later | 11% |
| Moved in 2018–2020 | 21% |
| Moved in 2010–2017 | 31% |
| Moved in before 2010 | 38% |
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25038 (tenure by year householder moved into unit), 2023 release. Universe: 30,521 occupied housing units, of which 23,223 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
Both standards exclude septic and other sewage disposal or wastewater treatment systems. The inspector confirms that the fixtures drain; the run leaving the building is not part of the job, and it is the most expensive thing on a property to be wrong about.

What it is required to cover
The water heater is covered in more detail than most of the system: InterNACHI takes in the energy source, the venting connections, the temperature and pressure-relief valve, seismic bracing where it applies, and the labeled capacity. What it stops short of is operating any of it.
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
Read the exclusions in your own report before the findings. The findings say what was looked at; the exclusions say what you still do not know, and only one of those two lists gets attention.
The published standards settle most arguments: excluded, covered, and the separate instruction for everything past the building.
