Before you hire in Highland Park
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Highland Park was built around 1944. 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
66% 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 Highland Park building department before work starts.
How to compare backflow prevention testing quotes

- Ask who files the report with the water utility and how fast.
- Get repair pricing for failed assemblies in writing before work starts.
- For fire lines, confirm how the sprinkler system and alarm monitoring are handled during the test.
