Before you hire in River Rouge

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in River Rouge was built around 1940. 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

73% 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 River Rouge building department before work starts.

Lead Service Line Replacement in River Rouge: FAQ

Look at the pipe where water enters your home. Lead is dull gray and soft; scratching it shows shiny silver, and a magnet will not stick.
Detroit and many suburbs have programs. Contact your water utility to see if and when your address is scheduled.
Use a filter certified for lead, run cold water before drinking, and use cold water for cooking. See the EPA guidance linked below.
