Water Heater Drip Pans

[shrubberyvaluation]

"HUD requires that each property insured with an FHA mortgage meet one of the nationally recognized building codes or a State or local building code based on a nationally recognized building code. In areas where such State or local codes are used, HUD determines if the State or local code is comparable to the model building code."

IPC is nationally recognized and the city/local government adopted its use. They have not responded directly on the matter yet but I kind of what off this. Also how would I avoid risk if there is water heater failure and damage occurs. The city adopted the code for that very reason as did the international plumbing community.

So get it in writing from somene with FHA. Will get them off your back and you have proof if they try to do something to sue you.
