Resolved Question: questions about residential electrical inspection?
i’m doing a remodel, and am about to get my final inspection. i’ve had 4 different inspectors over the length of my construction, and was told to watch for a few things previous inspectors missed, but the final inspector my not. first, do the smoke detectors need to be arc-fault protected? i’ve got them hard-wired, interlinked, and on a dedicated circuit, but not on an arc-fault breaker. my bedrooms are on arc-faults, by the way.
next, i’ve installed some can lights. most are 3ft from exterior walls, and i was told that if they are within 4ft, i would need lenses on them. anyone know for sure?

Resolved Question: My dorm room has rat poop all over!? how do I report this!?
I cleaned up and did everything I was supposed to do before leaving the dorm and came back from winter break only to find rat poop all over AND that the “inspectors” (Residential Advisors) stole both me and my roommates’ ink cartridges! Those are expensive!
Also, the rat chewed up my body spray and plastic pieces and the stuff sprayed all over my stuff plus my roommate had her stuff chewed up too!
This is so gross…and even outside the door there are dead cockroaches…and there is this weird metal door in the hall they didn’t shut and you can hear it making a banging sound all throughout the place.
If I had known what a waste of money living on campus would be, I never would have done it.
Me and my roommate cleaned our room before we left and did everything we were told to do. Before we left the ceilings had holes in them and when it rained they had to put out garbage cans to catch the water!
I live in one of the wealthiest cities in the country…so i just don’t get this. Is there some sort of health inspector I can call!? How can I report this?
This is just gross…please suggestions! ><

Resolved Question: Plumbing repair for gas riser - plumber caused additional leaks?
This was my question 5 months ago. What I have found out since is below:
We had a gas leak at our outside riser. A plumber said he’d fix it. After he fixed it - he said there was another leak - I didn’t see or smell it - at the other riser - but let him replace it (my mistake for not testing it myself) - he then called for the city inspector and left. the city came along and asked the interior be checked on a tag they left. Upon returning, checking the interior, the plumber said that he thought there was a itty bitty leak in the house - but he didn’t shut the house off from his exterior work - he tested the entire line. He couldn’t find a leak in the interior after 2 hours (I should have checked the risers myself) so he came back the next day with a huge air compressor - used a 100 psi and guess what? Not only did he now find 18 leaks in the attic (every joint was blown) he blew the two risers he’d just replaced outside too. If all the cities recommend 10 - 15 psi - 100 psi is way to high for jointed house lines and yeah - you’ll find the leak and a bunch of new ones you just caused from blowing every joint on the line. The city inspector also said this was way too much pressure.

According to the state plumbing board of examiners and countless municipalities, 3 psi holding for 15 minutes is the standard testing pressure. Natural gas comes into a residence at ounces 5 oz. in our area - not pounds. For a bubble test the less pressure the better. Imagine the little bubbles you get your kids - if you blow as hard as you can you won’t get a bubble - if you blow softly you do. Soap testing is outdated anyway.
The dope used in the joints of natural gas lines can blow out even at 50 psi - which ours held at 50. This plumber’s own work was ruined by his 50 psi and 85 to 100 psi testing. Welded gas pipe is tested at 60 psi. Using anything over 10 psi for testing residential doped joints - especially a bubble test in just flat out crazy. If the gas comes in at 5 ounces it is beyond irresponsible to use 50 psi or more and plumbers find leaks alright - because they cause them. These are not water pipe joints - they are gas pipe joints and the pipe itself did not leak. The plumbing examiner’s board cited them for causing all of our damage - so I guess 50 and 100 psi is too much according to them. Just an FYI for anyone with natural gas pipes!!
