Plumbing Inspection in Readyville, TN
In Readyville, 29% of owner households arrived in 2018 or later — a high rate, and one that means a large share of the housing has been through an inspection recently enough for somebody to remember it.
The one-paragraph answer
In Readyville, where 29% 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 Readyville 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.

Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25038 (tenure by year householder moved into unit), 2023 release. Universe: 946 occupied housing units, of which 864 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
Lawn irrigation is excluded. It is buried, it is seasonal, and it is connected to the same supply as the house — which makes it the one excluded item that can affect something the inspection did cover.

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
Where a report says a condition was observed but its extent could not be established, that is the sentence to act on. It means the boundary of the inspection was reached, not that the problem is small.
The published standards settle most arguments: excluded, covered, and the separate instruction for everything past the building.
