Common plumbing issues that you will encounter during your
bathroom remodel include the pipes under the floor, the building codes for the area and
the replacement of your shower and tub. You must make sure that you address
all these issues to make sure the bathroom is constructed properly. Your
bathroom can be a place that you will enjoy being, but you need to make
sure that the job is handled properly. Working with your plumber will
change the value of your home once the bathroom is done.
The Pipes Under The Floor
The pipes under your floor may need to be moved if you want to move your
sink, tub or shower. The tub or shower can be combined or separated to
make the room look more modern. However, the plumber has to make sure
that the pipes are fitted properly during the remodel. The pipes cannot
leak when they are sealed under the floor, and you want your plumber to
complete his work before the floors are sealed.
The Code Violations
When these items are handled by your plumber, the plumber can make sure
that your bathroom is up to code. Getting your bathroom remodeled could
open up your home to code violations that might be found by a code enforcement
officer. Also, your home will not be sold if you have code violations.
These code violations will be found by a home inspector if you are trying
to sell your house, and these code violations could cause your home to not sell.
Replace Your Tub And Shower
If you want to replace your tub and shower, you can make the space look
much more contemporary. You can have the tub and shower put on opposite
ends of the room, or the two fixtures can be combined. Your plumber will
move the pipes, install a new shower and they will make sure that they
have fitted all the pipes properly.
The best way for you to manage the remodeling of your bathroom is to make
sure that you work with your plumber. Your plumber can handle the code
inspection, moving your pipes and to replace your tub or shower as you see fit.
