I live in Dekalb County and I’m getting ready to sell my house. What documentation do I need and what else do I need to have my plumbing meet new selling requirements?
Dekalb County has passed some strict rules about the consumption of water by fixtures in the home. Faucets have to be restricted at the aerator to 2.2 GPMxi and Shower heads have to be restricted at 2.5 GPM. In most homes this is not an issue. The Toilets are going to be the main issue for most people. Every toilet in the house must have at least a 1.6 GPFxii. This is a problem for just about any house built prior to 1993. You will have to be in compliance with these rules in order for the home to sell. As licensed plumbing contractors we are able to make the appropriate corrections if needed and then you can use the plumbing contractor or home inspector according to the laws to write a letter stating that all your fixtures in the house are ok.
