    Slearing pipe?
    What does it mean when a inspector tells me that the pipe needs to be "sleared"?

    I'm sure Harold's correct and the term used was "sleeved ". This is a requirement when a pipe goes theough a cement wall, foundation.or is under pressure from above. This "sleeve" is usually a larger diameter pipe that fits over and protects the smaller one. If we're wrong click on back and correct us. Regards, Tom
