What drives the cost of backflow prevention testing in Grosse Pointe Shores

  • Number, type and size of assemblies in the building
  • Access: pits, ceilings, mechanical rooms or rooftop locations
  • Fire line assemblies that need sprinkler impairment coordination
  • Repair kits, rebuilds or full assembly replacement after a failure
  • After-hours testing to avoid shutting off water to tenants

  • The age of the home: the typical Grosse Pointe Shores home was built around 1961, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Grosse Pointe Shores

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Grosse Pointe Shores was built around 1961. 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

47% 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 Grosse Pointe Shores building department before work starts.
