Plumbing Inspection in Roland, OK
About 29% of the people who own a home in Roland 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
29% of owner households in Roland 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 Roland 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 Roland | Share of all owners |
|---|---|
| Moved in 2021 or later | 7% |
| Moved in 2018–2020 | 22% |
| Moved in 2010–2017 | 26% |
| Moved in before 2010 | 45% |
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25038 (tenure by year householder moved into unit), 2023 release. Universe: 1,778 occupied housing units, of which 1,117 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
ASHI requires the energy source and vent system of the water heating equipment to be covered, and InterNACHI requires the same ground from the other direction. Where the two standards overlap is the part of the report you can rely on whichever association the inspector belongs to.
The full list of obligations is published here. Reading it once is what stops a standard note from looking like a finding.
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.
Everything above comes from documents you can read yourself: the exclusions, the requirements, and why a camera down the lateral is never part of it.
