New optional process for Fabricated Shower Pan Waterproofing Systems


Wake County Permits & Inspections is pleased to announce a new optional inspection process for projects utilizing fabricated shower pan waterproofing systems, such as Schluter-KERDI and similar sheet membrane waterproofing systems. This process is intended to provide additional flexibility in inspection sequencing while maintaining compliance with the North Carolina State Building Code.


What is changing?


Under this optional process, contractors may utilize an alternate inspection workflow that allows the Shower Pan Inspection to occur after the insulation inspection, provided all required documentation and procedures are followed. The Shower Pan Inspection must still be completed and approved before any trade final inspections can be scheduled.


Form and Guidance document


The Fabricated Shower Pan System Form and guidance document are available on the Wake County Permits & Inspections website under Forms and Checklist.


Fabricated Shower Pan System Form & Guidance


We encourage contractors utilizing fabricated shower pan systems to review the guidance document carefully before requesting inspections. If you have questions regarding this optional process, please contact Wake County Permits & Inspections at 919-856-6222.
