Before you hire in Inkster

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Inkster was built around 1957. 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

60% 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 Inkster building department before work starts.

  • Ask which outlets will be tamper-resistant, GFCI or both.
  • Ask how ungrounded outlets will be handled.
  • Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask about workmanship warranty.
  • Compare the per-visit scope, not just the per-outlet price.

Child Proof Outlets in Inkster: FAQ

It is a receptacle with internal shutters that stay closed unless both plug prongs enter at once. It blocks objects pushed into a single slot, which plug caps cannot do reliably.
Plug caps help a little, but children can remove them and they get left out. Tamper-resistant outlets protect every slot all the time.
Like-for-like replacement of receptacles is minor repair and generally does not need a permit. Adding new outlets or circuits does.

It depends on the scope. Ask the Inkster building department, and expect a licensed contractor to pull any permit the job needs.
