[India de Tampa]

I am having a master room/master bathroom, walking closet, utility room addition detached from my house.
I hired a plumber to to the roughin drain that did not test his work, how can I do this... I have my construction on hold waiting for a carpenter to bid the frame work.
But my biggest concern is the roughin drain piping before the pouring of the concrete slab.

Do these have to have its vents also now or that is done after all framinh work is done?
He did not attach no vent. He has run a 3" pip thru the footer. It has a 6" pvc pipe around the piping going through the footer with sprayed foam foam in between.
Does it soung right? I need help.
Where do I buy the test ball? And how do I test for my own satisfaction and peace of mind.

Helpppppppp
Thanks...

Greetings from Sarasota, I worked in Tampa many years ago.
Your plumber should have pulled a permit from the building Department before starting the job. If you do not see a permit displayed then call the Building Department ASAP.

but my biggest concern is the roughin drain piping before the pouring of the concrete slab.
Do these have to have its vents also now or that is done after all framinh work is done?

New construction is inspected in three phases.
1) The Rough In This is where the underground drainage and water lines go in. When the rough in's done the plumber caps everything off and caps the sewer line with a test ball, (see image). He then completes the dxrainage to the lavatory and runs the vent from the lavatory vent up ten feet. He then calls a inspection for the next day and fills the stack with a 10 foot head of water leaving it overnight for the inspector to see the next day.
The inspector will come out and inspect the job for any code violations and to see if the job holds water. If all's well he signs off on the permit and the job goes into the second stage.
2) Tub vSet and Water Pipe This is where the above ground work goes down.( by this time the slab's poured and the framing begins. The plumber will stub out the drainage for the fixtures and run up the vents. He will then complete the water piping. Once more the plumber will fill the stacks, pressure up the water and call a inspection for the next day.
If the inspector passes the job and signs off on the permit the job enters the third and last stage. ( Also at this time a sewer tie in will be made)
3)The Trim Out By this time the drywalls are up and the fixtures will be installed, Kitchen sink, Toilets, lavatories, tubs/showers, bar or laundry sinks, etc.
He willthen call for a "final inspection" If the job passes inspection he will sign off and issue a C.O. ( Certificate Of Occupancy).
That's how the plumbing should go down from the first pipe to the last fixture. Let the Building Department iknow if it doesn't or if a permit hasn't been pulled. Good luck and thank you for rating my answer, Tom

Thanks, for your input.
This man is a neighboor, I am pulling the permits as homeowner.
So where do I buy this test ball? He works for community developments doing underground work. He said he will test it for me but his ball is broken and can't get another one now.
