Some plumbing work requires a construction drawing to be submitted to the Plumbing Inspector for review. Please contact our office to see if this applies to your particular job.
Be advised only a Master plumber who is licensed with the City of Altoona may obtain plumbing permits for the above work. There are two exceptions to this regulation: homeowners may obtain plumbing permits for water service line installation/replacement and for installation/replacement of hot water heaters.
Our department requests a 24-hour notice for scheduling an inspection.
