Other inspectors...
How would you approach the following ?
PVC conduit is installed to a septic pump. The conduit is 18" + below grade until it reaches a point that, when the structure is completed, will be below a deck that is approx 24" above grade.
The conduit presently "rises" from proper depth to grade at the house (footer) but that portion will be under the deck.
Would you rule that the portion less than 18" be protected by concrete, etc., or would you consider being under the deck as "under a building", or how would you rule.
The installer posts here and I told him we would see opinions other than mine.
