After taking out a permit and starting work, you need to call for inspections. Inspectors need to see your work at different stages to make sure it is correct. Remember not to cover work before it's inspected.

You must call for the following inspections:

  1. Footing

  2. Rough (making electrical, plumbing, and/or heating runs without fixtures or connected devices)
