Our Springfield installers are prepared to make your bathroom safe again, so you can take care of yourself by getting you the appropriate gear.

Question 1

1) Are these tubs as easy to clean as normal tubs?

They are not difficult to clean, but unlike regular tubs, itis recommended to keep a daily cleaning habit with a walk in bathtub utilizing the appropriate products and following manufacturer's recommendations. You want to actually make sure with a walk-in bath that you remove spots and scum to guard the surface. Get into the habit of wiping down the wet surfaces after each use to help avoid the build up scum, which will demand more scrubbing later. Weekly, use cleansers to wash your walk-in tub. Products that address your special water blot and deposits ought to be considered in addition to any indicators that these products may ruin the finish in your bathtub. Since tubs are usually either acrylic or fiberglass, you want to get familiar with the very best cleaning methods for your sort of bath. Fiberglass is porous and fragile and can readily dull and blot. Acrylic is non-porous and simple to wash. Do not use abrasive cleaners you might dull the finish and scrape the tub. Also, if the weather allows, air out the room in order that it does not stay humid all day. Some manufacturers advise that you just open your own bathroom window for an hour each day to let moisture escape.

Question 2

2) About how long does the installation process take with your Springfield installers?

Once the tub arrives, an installment requires between one and three days of work in Springfield. It certainly depends upon the extent of the job. You should make us know whether there's a crucial deadline involving a household member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from Massachusetts rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 3

3) Is there any additional structural support needed before installation?

Many walk-in tubs are mounted to a stainless steel welded support framework with leveling feet that is included with your bought tub. The flooring in the toilet should have a structural support strength that transcends the weight of the tub as well as the weight of the water. Our Springfield installer will check to determine if the floor is level and otherwise if it's not, then they'll make use of the leveling legs to correct the degree of the bath. Of course, the previous tub will need to be eliminated. Also, the if replacing tile or the wall in the region will have to be removed.

Question 4

4) About how much will one of these tubs cost to get installed?

The setup can cost you around $1,500-$3,000 to be installed in Springfield. Occasionally the expense of the unit along with the installment is a better investment than paying for a caretaker.

Question 5

5) Will a tub like this add to my Springfield home’s resale value?

Should you live in a Springfield retirement community, installing a walk-in bathroom may raise the value of your own home. Otherwise, it probably will not increase the value of your house. Since changes to your bathroom don't generally increase the value of your home, the price can be qualified for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in Massachusetts if the primary objective of the improvements is to adapt a home to the disability of the citizen, their partner or dependent living there.

Question 6

6) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems employ a gravity simply drainage system, while other makers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Normally, the drainage system in a walk in tub is attached to the normal tub drain, which is threaded into a horizontal conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed with a foam washer or putty under its flange. The large difference is that manufacturers have tried to reduce the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water to drain can leave a bather feeling chilled since a bather cannot leave the bath until all the water is drained. Some features may cost you more, so it's always a good idea to inquire. Eventually, get to be aware of the difference between frameless baths since because they do not change the drain height of your existing bath frameless tubs tend to empty quicker than framed tubs and framed tubs. Framed tubs are built on a steel frame and also the base of the bath is suspended off the ground. Frameless baths are designed with an extra-strength mold that really doesn't demand a steel framework and the underside of the bath isn't suspended in the air.

Question 7

7) How do I know these tubs will fully seal and not leak out all over the floor?

Appropriate installation and initial testing should provide you with a leak proof experience, yet there are episodes where they experienced flows that customers report. Under appropriate conditions, the weight of the water should compress the door seal making it completely leak proof. Some units contain a second drain below the entry door to help prevent escapes in the event the door does leak. If this attribute is contained, inquire. We highly advise that you simply get a lifetime warranty, since it covers the door in the case of a flow and the seal. In addition, it's vital that you take great attention of the walk in bathtub door when the bath is not in use to prevent premature failure of the seal. Wiping down the door seal and door jamb after every use can preserve the integrity of the water seal. Follow the care and maintenance instructions.

Question 8

8) Will a tub like this look bad for my homeowner’s insurance in Massachusetts?

Check with your Springfield homeowner's insurance to ensure it will cover you against this kind of damage. You may require a home modification license from the Springfield, MA building department to put in a bath, particularly if walls have to be removed to match your toilet plans. Most of all, you did not get one AND somehow and if you needed a permit your house suffers from damage from the installed walk-in bath, your losses may not be covered by your homeowner's insurance. Should you plan on ever selling your Springfield dwelling, there are plenty of buyer beware messages out there that will steer prospective buyers from your home if there have been any advancements without licenses since it does influence homeowner's insurance. Buyers see the licenses and their homeowners insurance as protections on their investments in homes.

Question 9

9) Can I choose the color / style to match my interior decoration?

Yes. Walk in baths can be personalized to your taste. Check with the makers about Massachusetts alternatives. Shades that are uniform with most toilets are only offered by some. Choosing the right walk-in tub for you means discussing the selection of fashions, sizes and layouts to ensure it satisfies your own special needs and room requirements. You might have to pay an additional fee for a custom shade since most producers make baths in white and cream.

Question 10

10) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Massachusetts?

Aetna doesn't insure walk in tubs under their traditional plans in Massachusetts. They normally follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the toilet. In the event the member is bed- confined or room - confined some DMEs are considered medically necessary, rather than a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's essential for day-to-day activities and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing considered essential and is considered a daily living action, Aetna lists toilet items that are incapable to transfer to and from a tub or considered medically necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated.

Question 11

11) What are some of the benefits of getting one?
