If you\u2019ve come across this blog post, there\u2019s a good chance that you have a bathroom that doesn\u2019t look the way you\u2019d like it to. Or perhaps it\u2019s not as functional as you think it can be. Whatever the case, you\u2019ve come here because you\u2019re thinking of starting a bathroom remodel. As the most used room in your home, it\u2019s easy to see why\u2014a good remodeling job can give you a brand new space after all!<\/p>\n
But, there are things that go wrong if you choose to not work with a qualified and experienced plumbing professional. The level of attention you have to give to planning and prepping for your remodeling job will make a huge difference in the results. So, our #1 bathroom remodeling tip is to hire a professional to help with the job! Otherwise, you can run into a number of problems that will leave you needing to call in a professional plumber anyway. <\/em>Curious as to what they are? Read on.<\/p>\n This seems easy enough\u2014don\u2019t all toilets come in the same size? Well, no.<\/p>\n Your home\u2019s bathrooms have a specific toilet rough-in, <\/em>which is the measurement that determines the distance between your toilets\u2019 bold caps to the finished wall. There is <\/em>a standard today, which is 12 inches. But depending on how old your home is, yours may vary.<\/p>\n Ventilation is essential for so many functions of your home, and your plumbing is no exception. For instance, your sink trap can get sucked dry. As a result, it will not function as a barrier between your sewer system and your bathrooms. You can probably envision where we’re going with that\u2014it\u2019s not pretty.<\/p>\n If the right slant isn\u2019t applied to the masonry that makes up your shower floor, the water won\u2019t be able to drain properly, and you\u2019ll have perpetual standing water in your shower at all times. This will lead to unhealthy mold and mildew development.<\/p>\n As illustrated above, when homeowners choose to forgo professional service for their bathroom remodeling job, there are a number of things that can go wrong. This is not an attempt to scare you into hiring a professional, but an encouragement to at least consult with one of our trained and experienced professionals before beginning work. This can save you headaches and money in the future.<\/p>\n One last thing to keep in mind when investing in a bathroom remodel, whether you do hire a professional or decide to try it on your own, is that it will pay to consider practicality before aesthetics. Too many individuals let the desire to have a great looking <\/em>bathroom outweigh the practical needs of the space, and changing your brand new fixtures and plumbing can turn into an expensive job.<\/p>\n To get in touch with a professional plumber in Warren<\/a> or one of the surrounding areas we serve,\u00a0contact Max Sr & Paul Schoenwalder Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, A Corp.<\/a>\u00a0today.
