Price
What drives the cost of frozen pipe repair in Lathrup Village

- Whether the pipe split and how much must be replaced

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.

Frozen Pipe Repair in Lathrup Village: FAQ
Little or no water from a faucet in very cold weather, frost on exposed pipe, or a bulge in the line are common signs. Leave the faucet open and call a plumber.
Gentle heat from a hair dryer or space heater kept at a safe distance can work on an exposed pipe. Never use an open flame, and shut off the water first if you see any crack.
Thawing a pipe does not need a permit. Replacing split pipe or rerouting lines into heated space is plumbing work that normally needs a plumbing permit from BSEED in Detroit.
