Plumbing Inspection in Kingston, NJ
Kingston is settled. Only 0% of owner households moved in during 2018 or later, which means most of the plumbing here has not been looked at by anybody in a long time.
The one-paragraph answer
Homes in Kingston rarely change hands — only 0% of owner households moved in during 2018 or later — so an inspection there is usually of a house somebody has lived in for years. The buried sewer lateral is still outside both published standards of practice.

When Kingston moved in
In a town this settled the report is likelier to matter to a seller than a buyer. Knowing what is there before somebody else looks is the whole of the advantage.
| Owner households in Kingston | Share of all owners |
|---|---|
| Moved in 2021 or later | 0% |
| Moved in 2018–2020 | 0% |
| Moved in 2010–2017 | 0% |
| Moved in before 2010 | 100% |
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25038 (tenure by year householder moved into unit), 2023 release. Universe: 211 occupied housing units, of which 195 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
The covered list is shorter than the excluded one and it is not thin. Every fixture run, every toilet flushed, the drain-waste-vent system described, the water heater and its venting examined, the shut-offs located. That is a real morning of work and it is worth knowing it happened.
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
Ask a contractor what would have to be opened up to answer the question, rather than asking for a number. A quote given without that step is a guess with a figure attached to it.
The published standards settle most arguments: excluded, covered, and the separate instruction for everything past the building.
