Plumbing Inspection in Herriman, UT
In Herriman, 38% 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
Inspection reports are common in Herriman, where 38% of owners arrived in 2018 or later and houses change hands often. What is not common is reading the exclusions: both published standards of practice leave the buried sewer lateral outside the inspection.

When Herriman moved in
A high turnover rate means most transactions here are recent, so the report that came with the house is probably still in a drawer. It is worth reading again — not the findings, which you already acted on, but the exclusions, which you almost certainly did not.
| Owner households in Herriman | Share of all owners |
|---|---|
| Moved in 2021 or later | 8% |
| Moved in 2018–2020 | 30% |

Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25038 (tenure by year householder moved into unit), 2023 release. Universe: 20,599 occupied housing units, of which 16,774 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
Neither standard requires an inspector to determine water flow, pressure, quality or potability. A report can be entirely clean on a house whose water arrives at a pressure nobody would live with, because that was never a defect it was looking for.

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.
What is actually covered — because silence in a report means one thing about a covered system and something completely different about an excluded one.
What to do about it
Write down where the main water shut-off and the main fuel shut-off are. InterNACHI requires both locations to be described, and they are the two most useful lines in the document.
The two standards are published in full and worth ten minutes: what is excluded, what is covered, and why the drains outside the house are a separate instruction.
