  • Gas line upsizing or a new electrical circuit

Before you hire in Emmett

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Emmett was built around 1938. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

65% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Emmett building department before work starts.

  • Ask whether venting, expansion tank and permits are included.
  • Check the plumbing and mechanical licenses on the LARA lookup.
  • Ask which DTE or Consumers Energy rebates apply to your unit.
  • Compare labor and tank warranties and who registers them.
