What this report covers
This template follows the plumbing scope of the InterNACHI Standards of Practice and adds a status and a note to each line. The standards ask the inspector to describe whether the water supply is public or private, where the main water and fuel shut-offs are, and the water heater's capacity if it is labeled, so those go at the top.
Say what you did not check. The standards list items an inspector is not required to inspect, such as well pumps, water softeners, fire sprinkler systems and water quality. For a tick list, use the plumbing inspection checklist.
How to use it
For each item, mark it OK, Needs attention or Not inspected, and add a short note where it helps: what you saw, where, and what you recommend. "Not inspected" with a reason (no access, unsafe, snow cover) protects you better than leaving a line blank.
