GET STARTEDLimited spots each week.
Every report is reviewed by a QA professional before delivery — not just generated and sent. That human review step means we can only take a limited number of jobs per week. Submissions are reviewed in the order they're received, and we'll let you know upfront if your report will take longer than 24 hours.
Before you ask.
Does Flint have special plumbing inspection requirements related to water quality?
Yes. Flint inspectors verify that all water supply piping uses lead-free materials and approved solder. Copper lines must be confirmed lead-free at joints, and service line material documentation is required for permit closeout.
What does the $250 Flint readiness report cover?
The report reviews your submitted jobsite photos against Michigan Building Code and Flint-specific enforcement items. It identifies probable findings across electrical, plumbing, mechanical, structural, and building trades within 24 hours.
Are there common foundation issues Flint inspectors look for?
Flint sits in a zone with significant freeze-thaw cycling. Inspectors look for horizontal cracking in block foundations, step cracks at frost lines, and water infiltration signs. Footing depth must meet the 42-inch frost line requirement.
How do I schedule an inspection with the Flint Building Department?
Flint accepts inspection requests by phone. Availability can be limited, so a failed inspection means significant delays. The readiness report helps identify issues before your scheduled date to reduce re-inspection risk.
Does the readiness report replace the official Flint inspection?
No. The Inspection Readiness Report is a pre-inspection review only. It flags likely findings so you can correct them before the Flint Building Department conducts the official inspection required for permit closeout.
