Are sewer repairs and water heaters included?
Yes. Permits mentioning plumbing, water heaters, sewers or drains are matched, whether they are stand-alone express permits or part of a renovation.
Why don't new construction permits appear?
New construction plumbing is almost always awarded with the general contract, so it lives on the new construction page instead.
