Question 1

1) About how long does the installation process take with your Santa Clarita installers?

Once the bathtub arrives, an installment needs between one and three days of work in Santa Clarita. It really depends on the scope of the job. You need to let us know whether there's a critical deadline involving a household member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from California rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 2

2) Are there any kits available for installing my own walk-in tub?

Yes, makers do offer do-it-yourself installations of a bathroom conversion kit. Depending on whether you possess the proper tools and technical familiarity with the tools, it is not impossible. Yet, lots of times, someone thinks it is going to be affordable to buy all the appropriate tools. These tools may be expensive, so ensure you compare the cost of buying each of the tools and also the cost of your time learning the best way to install the kit with all the expense of a professional installation. Then the directions may seem fairly easy in case you're someone who does a great deal of home improvements. Otherwise, you may want to save yourself the trouble and expense by investing in Santa Clarita professionals who will install it correctly. Just make sure that the unit you bought didn't get damaged during transportation and they examine the unit according to producer 's directions.

Question 3

3) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they can leak. Consumers who bought more inferior quality fiberglass in a framed walk in bath have reported that their walk in tub finally revealed spider breaking in the ground region and then leaked. Another common complaint from people who attempted to save money and purchased a poor quality bath comes from door leaks. When buying a walk in bathtub, be sure you buy a lifetime guarantee, because as soon as the door leaks, the bath can't be used by you, until the seal is fixed by you. Be sure that the walk-in bathtub is strong and stiff to avoid any flex that inhibits a water tight door. Mishandling and also any damage that could have happened during hauling can loosen fittings and cause leakage. Before utilizing the walk in tub, it's significant that the bathtub is tested by the installer properly according to the instruction manual. The water may have problem emptying correctly and might cause the door to leak, if the tub is not installed level with the supporting features supplied. Finally, make sure to comprehend the risks associated with the positioning of your walk in tub, notably alcoves, since they have special conditions to avoid leaking.

Question 4

4) Will a tub like this add to my Santa Clarita home’s resale value?

If you live in a Santa Clarita retirement community, installing a walk in bath may increase the value of your house. Otherwise, it likely will not raise the value of your dwelling. Since modifications to your bathroom do not normally increase the value of your home, the cost could qualify for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in California if the primary purpose of the improvements is to adapt a dwelling to the incapacity of the taxpayer, their spouse or dependent living there.

Question 5

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

Many updated homeowner's insurance policies protect against flooding from your plumbing and appliances. Check with your Santa Clarita homeowner's insurance to ensure it is going to cover you against this type of damage. You may need a home modification license from the Santa Clarita, building department to put in a bath, particularly when walls need to be removed to match your toilet plans. Above all, in the event you needed a license and you didn't get one AND your home suffers from damage from the installed walk in tub, your homeowner's insurance may not cover your losses. If you're planning on selling your Santa Clarita residence, there are tons of buyer beware messages out there which will steer prospective buyers from your house since it does affect homeowner's insurance if there have been any progress without licenses. Buyers see the licenses as well as their homeowners insurance as protections on their investments in dwellings.

Question 6

6) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in California?

Aetna will not insure walkin tubs under their plans that are conventional in California. Aetna doesn't insure walk-in bathtubs under their HMO and health network plans either. They usually follow Medicare's standards for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the toilet. In case the member is bed- room or confined - confined some DMEs are considered necessary, rather than a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it is necessary for day-to-day tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living activity and considered crucial, Aetna lists bathroom items which are considered medically necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated or incapable to transfer to and from a bathtub.

Question 7

7) How much is it for a cheaper walk-in bathtub?

A cheaper fundamental variant of the walk-in tub can really cost between $1,7000 and $3,000 in [

Question 8

8) Do these tubs use more water than conventional tubs?

Yes. A walk-in bathtub is usually taller than an average bath tub, which contains about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some producers say if a typical shower is 7 minutes that you just use the exact same quantity of water as a typical shower and you use 7 gallons of water a minute. Many of the walk in tubs available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. In fact, many manufacturers recommend that you've got a hot water tank that holds at least 50 gallons, though some baths will function efficiently should you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 9

9) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in California?

In case your handicap was due to a work or vehicle accident, check together with the appropriate insurance insurance company to find out if home modifications resulting from your disability are covered. Claims that comprise Santa Clarita house alterations are admissible in insurance resolutions. A person qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they have worked in work that was insured by Social Security and have a medical condition that meets their definition of handicap. Benefits could be covered in the event you are on handicap or injured. Since SSI is a needs-based program along with an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualification for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person with a disability to achieve an occupational objective. The cash that is set aside under a PASS could be used for anything that results in an occupational objective and may be utilized to cover home modifications through an SSI savings plan. You will figure out more about PASS through your local Social Security Administration office or call toll free 800 772 1213. If you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual programs that might help you deflect a number of the price. Contact the form 26-4555 to apply for SHA or SAH grant. For advice on all VA benefits in California call 1-800-827-1000.

Question 10

10) 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 California options. Some offer shades which are uniform with most toilets. Selecting the right walk-in bathtub for you means discussing the selection of styles, sizes and layouts to make sure it satisfies your own special needs and room requirements. You may have to pay an additional fee for a custom shade since most makers make bathtubs in cream and white.

Question 11

11) Can the shower be used still with a walk-in bathtub?

Yes. There are walk-in bathtub installments that provide you with a big standing place for stand up showers. You can shower sitting down or standing up. Make sure you get the proper dimensions for the walk in tub in order you do not feel cramped during a stand-up shower. Additionally, should you wish to maintain your standing shower because if your faucet is not right against a wall, it is significantly more difficult to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind is to ask about the faucet place.

Question 12

12) Can I convert my existing bathtub into a walk-in one?

Yes. There are instructions available on the best way to convert your existing bathtub into a walk in tub. We recommend that you understand how exactly to use the appropriate tools so that you don't end up with a non-working bathtub. There are businesses in Santa Clarita that know how to turn your house and your bath more handicap reachable for less of an investment than other options. As installers, we know how to direct you in the right direction, so please ask us for a consultation so we can help you make your house fulfill your current needs, particularly if you have recently become disabled or are providing an elderly person care-giving in their own house or your home.
