10.5 Your water heater does not have a"Thermal Expansion tank" installed to prevent a possible leak at the T&P or"Pop-off" valve. Recent changes in code require one when a new water heater is installed. This change is not retroactive on older previously installed Gas/LP water heaters such as yours. There were no leaks or drips at the T&P valve during inspection. If your water heater does begin to drip or leak, then a Thermal Expansion tank may be needed.

The plumbing in the home was inspected and reported on with the above information. While the inspector makes every effort to find all areas of concern, some areas can go unnoticed. Washing machine drain line for example cannot be checked for leaks or the ability to handle the volume during drain cycle. Older homes with galvanized supply lines or cast iron drain lines can be obstructed and barely working during an inspection but then fails under heavy use. If the water is turned off or not used for periods of time (like a vacant home waiting for closing) rust or deposits within the pipes can further clog the piping system.
