Bathroom Remodeling
Remodeling a bathroom can be one of the most difficult rooms in the
house to renovate. In smaller homes with only one or two bathrooms, time
is of the essence. Nobody wants to be without a bathroom longer than
they have to. Working with a bathroom remodeling contractor
who is wiling to set a deadline can keep a project from dragging on
longer than it has to.
One factor to contend with when remodeling a bathroom, is the constant presence of moisture. One important step to pay close attention to is the drainage for your shower walls and floor. This is the most likely cause for water issues.
A plumbing system consist of the drain lines, vent lines, and supply lines. A poorly installed toilet could overflow when nobody is home, causing thousands in damage. A cheap shut off valve can also be responsible for major flooding in a home. Drain lines and vent lines are just as important. I have seen drain lines that have not been glued properly. Instead of a visible stream of water shooting out of the walls, this problem will likely take longer to discover. The first sign will likely be a slight odor. With all your plumbing lines buried inside of finished walls, you are going to have to do some demolition before you can identify the problem. Image a newly remodeled bathroom that has a plumbing issue. All of your new tile has to be ripped out in order to access a plumbing leak. Professional remodeling contractors are aware of the liability and take extra care in ensuring things are done properly the first time. What about sewer gas? There are several ways that sewer gas can seep in through improper installation methods. If a bathroom is not vented properly, a p-trap can be siphoned dry allowing sewer gas to enter the living space.
