See before & after pictures online at bfsave.com/local TUB & SHOWER REPLACEMENTS CUSTOM TUB & SHOWER LINERS TUB-TO-SHOWER CONVERSIONS American Owned (Sponsor supplied content) According to the National Association of Home Builders, the most requested room for a home remodeling project in America is the bathroom, and it’s not hard to see why. The bathroom is one of the most high-traffic areas of the home, and can also be one of the most dangerous. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined that an average of 235,000 Americans are sent to the emergency room a year due to accidents in the bathroom. So how do you tell if your bathroom is in need of a renovation? There are four key signs you can look for help you determine if the time is right. Problem 1: Tub or Shower Damage – Rust spots and cracks, if left untreated, can allow water into the wall or flooring, causing water damage and mold growth around the bathroom. Remember, some cracks are very hard to spot; wipe down your unit with a soapy washcloth to find any hairline cracks. Glaze peeling or chipping can ruin the strength of your tub or shower as well. Problem 2: Tile Wall Damage – Tile grout and caulking seams are a perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. This can deteriorate the bond between the tile and the wall, making the tiles peel away. The more tiles you lose, the more your walls are exposed to the heat and humidity of the bathroom, and the more damage can be done. Problem 3: Buckling Flooring – It’s not just the tub or shower that you need to observe for water damage. Keep an eye on the flooring around the bathroom as well. If you see any buckling or constantly damp areas on the floor, there may be plumbing damage underneath. This kind of unseen problem needs to be dealt with right away, and most likely by a professional. Problem 4: Smell – Just like with plumbing damage, mold growth can occur even without any visual clues. The best way to recognize a mold problem is by smell. If your bathroom constantly smells damp and musty, you may have a mold problem. If you recognize any of these four warning signs in your bathroom, don’t wait. Have your bathroom evaluated by a professional and start planning for the new bathroom you need and deserve.
