Before you hire in Melvindale

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Melvindale was built around 1950. 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

66% 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 Melvindale building department before work starts.

Sump Pump Installation in Melvindale: FAQ

Heavy storms often cause power outages when pumps are needed most. A backup is widely recommended for finished or flood-prone basements.
Cost depends on a new pit or a pump swap, pump type and capacity, battery or water powered backup, the check valve and discharge line, drain tile connections, and a new electrical circuit.
Permit and discharge rules are set locally, so confirm with BSEED in Detroit or your local building department, including where the water may drain. A new circuit needs an electrical permit.
