Before you hire
Lead water lines in Metro Detroit: what homeowners should know
Many Metro Detroit homes built before the 1950s were connected with lead service lines. A quick check: scratch the pipe where it enters your basement. Lead is dull gray, soft and scratches to a shiny silver. A magnet will not stick to it.
Michigan rules require water systems to replace lead service lines over time, and Detroit and several suburbs run replacement programs, often at little or no direct cost to the homeowner. Ask your water utility whether your street is scheduled before you hire privately. If you want it done sooner, a licensed plumber can replace the line on your side. Pair it with repiping if the pipes inside are old too.
