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.

Water Heater Repair in Lathrup Village: 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.
