Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in Travelers Rest?
Yes. In South Carolina, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Travelers Rest is no exception.
A whole-house repipe requires a plumbing permit and a pressure test while the piping is still exposed. Do not close up walls before that rough inspection passes. Approved piping materials and any backflow protection are checked at inspection, so confirm the accepted materials with the building department before buying. Repiping the water or drain lines in a Travelers Rest home requires a plumbing permit filed through Cloudpermit, since changing the plumbing system is regulated under the adopted statewide South Carolina plumbing code. Rough-in must be inspected before the walls are closed up, so schedule the plumbing inspection before drywall or finishes go back in. The contractor must carry a South Carolina LLR license and a Travelers Rest city business license, and all paperwork must be submitted online before an inspection can be requested.
