Plumbing Inspection in Hoschton, GA
Owner-occupied homes in Hoschton change hands often: 37% 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
In Hoschton, where 37% of owners bought in 2018 or later, a great many homes have been inspected recently. A standard inspection looks at what can be seen and operated; the drain line under the garden is outside its published scope and needs a camera survey.

When Hoschton 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 Hoschton | Share of all owners |
|---|---|
| Moved in 2021 or later | 10% |
| Moved in 2018–2020 | 27% |
| Moved in 2010–2017 | 33% |
| Moved in before 2010 | 30% |
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25038 (tenure by year householder moved into unit), 2023 release. Universe: 8,607 occupied housing units, of which 7,527 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
Gas leak testing is not part of a home inspection. The fuel shut-off gets located and described; the line itself is not tested, and no part of the report should be read as saying it was.

What it is required to cover
InterNACHI requires the location of the main water shut-off and the main fuel shut-off to be described, and whether the supply is public or private. Those are the three lines worth copying out of the report on the day you get it, because nobody looks them up until they are standing in water.
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.
