Before you hire in Lathrup Village
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Lathrup Village was built around 1955. 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
67% 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 Lathrup Village building department before work starts.
