The rough-in inspection happens when the pipes are in the walls but before they are closed, and it is the checkpoint that catches mistakes early. It is the most important inspection in a build.
The timing
The rough-in is inspected after the piping and the venting are in place but before the drywall covers them, so the inspector can see the whole system. humid conditions and older housing stock mean corroded fittings and slow drains show up often In Lafayette, it is part of the permit process.
The check
The inspector verifies the sizes, the slope, the supports, and the venting, and the pressure and drain tests confirm the system works.
The fix
Anything flagged is corrected while the walls are still open, which is why the timing of the inspection matters.
The record
A passed rough-in is recorded with the permit, and it is the foundation of a clean final inspection.
