Before you hire in Lake Orion

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Lake Orion was built around 1959. 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

51% 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 Lake Orion building department before work starts.

How to compare duct leakage testing quotes

  • Ask which test they perform and what the result will be compared to.
  • Ask whether they will point out where leaks are, not just the number.
  • Confirm the report format your builder, inspector or program needs.
  • Ask about BPI or RESNET credentials.
  • If an HVAC company tests its own work, ask for the raw results.
