Before you hire in Lapeer

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Lapeer was built around 1976. 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.

Pre-war construction

17% of homes predate 1940. Expect plaster walls, balloon framing and possible asbestos in old pipe wrap or floor tile; test before demolition with a licensed asbestos contractor.

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

Water Heater Repair in Lapeer: FAQ

On gas units the pilot or thermocouple is often the cause. On electric units, an element or thermostat. A plumber can test it quickly.
A small drip at a valve can wait a day. Water coming from the tank itself means it is failing: shut off the water to it and call soon.
If the tank is over 10 years old or leaking, replacement usually makes more sense than repair.
