Can someone tell me who carries out this inspection? According to the information in the building permit / planning permission application, a certificate of competence must be provided. What does that mean and what are the costs?

Additionally, a camera inspection of the sewer pipe is even required in our case, so consider yourself lucky that you don’t need that too.

Additionally, in our case, a camera inspection is even mandatory, so be glad you don’t need that as well. I honestly think that was the most worthwhile money ever spent!
Shortly before pouring the screed, we noticed that a coupling had come loose… just imagine… first time using the sink, and then...
I’m also glad we did the blower door test, even if only for peace of mind.
In our area, the municipality requires an inspection of the wastewater systems every 10 years. We are also located within a water protection zone. The companies carrying out the inspections must be certified and perform the check according to a specific standard. It cost about 300€ and took 2 hours.
