During the inspection, poor plumbing practices were identified, presenting potential risks and inefficiencies. One concerning issue was the excessive use of silicone caulk on the check valve, which is not an appropriate method for sealing plumbing connections and may lead to leaks and improper functioning.
Moreover, the use of duct tape and wood to block pipes from hitting each other is not a suitable solution, as it lacks durability and can cause damage over time. Proper pipe hangers and supports should be employed to ensure stability and prevent potential issues.
Another significant concern was the improper joining of ABS pipe to PVC pipe without proper gluing. This can result in leaks and separations, compromising the integrity of the plumbing system and causing water damage.
