What this site is
PresalePipe is a referral service, not a contractor or a home inspector. We connect homeowners and buyers with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We carry out no inspections and no work, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.When Las Vegas 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.
| Owner households in Las Vegas | Share of all owners | 90% margin |
|---|---|---|
| Moved in 2021 or later | 7% | under 1 pt |
| Moved in 2018–2020 | 21% | ±1 pt |
| Moved in 2010–2017 | 35% | ±1 pt |
| Moved in before 2010 | 37% | ±1 pt |
Each share is given with its 90% margin of error. Where that margin is wide, the figure is still the survey’s best estimate and is shown here, but this page will not build a sentence on it.

Universe: 603,995 occupied housing units, of which 325,916 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 state that an inspection is not technically exhaustive and covers readily accessible, visually observable systems. That sentence is not a disclaimer at the end of the report. It is the definition of what was bought.

What it is required to cover
The fixtures are a live test rather than a look. InterNACHI requires the inspector to run the water at every faucet, flush every toilet, and check that every sink, tub and shower drains; ASHI requires functional flow and functional drainage. If a fault shows up in ordinary use, this is the part of the inspection that finds 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
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.
