Plumbing Inspection in Lehi, UT
In Lehi, 32% 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 Lehi, where 32% 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 Lehi 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 Lehi | Share of all owners |
|---|---|
| Moved in 2021 or later | 8% |
| Moved in 2018–2020 | 25% |
| Moved in 2010–2017 | 37% |
| Moved in before 2010 | 31% |
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25038 (tenure by year householder moved into unit), 2023 release. Universe: 22,835 occupied housing units, of which 17,622 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
Clothes washer connections are excluded, which surprises people because the machine is in the house and plumbed into it. The supply valves behind it and the standpipe it drains into were not part of the job.

What it is required to cover
Sump pumps are in scope on both standards — InterNACHI for drainage pumps with an accessible float, ASHI for sewage ejectors and sump pumps. Accessible is the whole qualifier. A float nobody can reach is not a float anybody tested.
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.
