You may be wondering, “Do I need a permit to replace my water heater in Corvallis?”

The answer is kind of. Oregon operates under a minor label program. This means all small home improvements, such as installing a new water heater, require a minor label to be pulled. The cost is only $20, and one-in-ten of these Corvallis water heater installations is subject to a random safety inspection.

Every few years, Corvallis water heater codes change to incorporate new safety techniques and measures.

We try to keep this information as up-to-date as possible, but your Corvallis installer will be able to answer any specific question you may have.

Corvallis Water Heater Minor Permit Info

Codes Currently Being Enforced in Corvallis

Corvallis and the state of Oregon demand by law that any company or individual putting in a water heater must have a minor label permit. Because Fast Water Heater has a great reputation in the eyes of the state, we are allowed to have a permit for plumbing with a label described as minor. This means that, occasionally, the state of Oregon chooses a few houses, which they visit to make sure that everything is safe and secure.

Water Heater CodesAt the moment, we do not need a mechanical permit to work in Corvallis. A minor label permit is sufficient. Your safety, however, is our first priority, so you can rest assured that we will check your vents and gas supply thoroughly. If you need to buy any equipment to ensure these systems present no danger, we will not hesitate to tell you. Even though Corvallis law states that you do not have to worry about mechanical codes in this case, the state of Oregon does demand that you meet the water heater manufacturer’s standards when it comes to vents and gas supply.

As stated earlier, there is a chance that the state of Oregon might pull your home out of the hat, so to speak, and decide to pay a visit to check on the safety of your water heater. If that happens, they will ask one of their inspectors to get in touch with you to organize a home visit. If the inspector finds anything at all wrong with our work, then please dial our number as soon as you can. We will be at your place in Corvallis in a flash, ready to sort out any issues.
