The problem with a minimal code!  American Plumbing, LMP #556

Text on a screen: Louisiana Code Amendments, Section 701.9, Repairs to Drainage System via Re-Route.

When the Louisiana Legislature was forcing the IPC / IRC codes down the consumers throats, a number of us were pointing out the IPC / IRC were self described minimal codes.  The legislature did not care about the consumers and forced these minimal codes down the Louisiana consumers throats.  Since that time the current LSUCCC has been having to amend the code to strengthen it.  The above amendment is a perfect example.

Call American Plumbing for all of your plumbing repair needs.
