Our Dothan team is reclaiming independence one bathroom at a time and security by installing new and safer equipment in houses all across Alabama.

Question 1

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

Yes. There are walk in bath installations that offer you a sizable standing place for stand up showers. You can shower standing up or sitting down. Ensure you get the appropriate measurements for the walk-in bathtub so that you don't feel cramped during a stand up shower. Additionally, another thing to keep in mind is always to ask about the faucet location, since if your faucet is not directly against a wall, it is considerably harder to tap into your existing shower if you intend to keep your standing shower.

Question 2

2) Will AARP cover the cost of equipment and installation?

AARP isn't a supplier of insurance, but contracts with insurance companies to make coverage available to AARP members. AARP doesn't make health plan recommendations for individuals and does not cover the cost of walk-in bathtubs or any health needs. AARP does provide coverage like other health plans and Medicare Supplement Insurance and access to medical care tools to members as a resource, but third parties provide member benefits. Check with the plans that are recorded in Alabama under the membership services of AARP.

Consumer Affairs urges that a first owner buy a lifetime warranty to give peace of mind to buyers about leaks. Additionally, ask if the lifetime guarantee is extended to other owners as well. For most Alabama home installations, this will be included for a set number of years.

The installation can really cost you around $1,500-$3,000 to be installed in Dothan. Occasionally the cost of the unit and also the installment is a better investment than paying for a caretaker.

In case you reside in a Dothan retirement community, installing a walk in bath may increase the value of your home. Otherwise, it likely will not raise the value of your home. Since changes to your toilet don't generally raise the value of your house, cost can be qualified for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in Alabama if the principal purpose of the enhancements will be to adapt a residence to the impairment of the taxpayer, their spouse or dependent living there.

Question 8

8) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems apply a gravitation only drainage system, while other makers offer power assisted drainage systems. Ordinarily, the drainage system in a walk in bath is attached to the normal bathtub drain, which is threaded into a horizontal pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed under its flange with putty or a foam washer. Some characteristics may cost you more, so it is almost always wise to ask. Finally, get to be aware of the difference between frameless tubs since frameless tubs often empty quicker than framed baths, because they do not change the drain height of your existing bath and framed tubs. Framed tubs are made on a steel frame and the base of the tub is dangled off the ground. Frameless baths are made with an extra-strength form that doesn't require a steel framework and the underside of the bath is not hung in the air.

Question 9

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

Many walk-in bathtubs are mounted to a stainless steel welded support framework with leveling feet that is included with your bath that was bought. The floor in the toilet has to have a structural support strength that exceeds the weight of the tub in addition to the weight of the water. Our Dothan installer will check to ascertain whether the floor is level and otherwise if it's not, then they'll make use of the leveling legs to correct the amount of the bath. Of course, the prior bath will have to be eliminated. Also, the wall or tile in area will need to be removed if replacing.

Question 10

10) Can I make one of these myself?

Yes, but most people do not start from scratch, they begin with a bathtub conversion kit. There are instructions available on the best way to convert your existing bathtub into a walk-in bath. We recommend that you understand the way to make use of the tools that are appropriate in order that you just don't end up with a non-working tub.

Question 11

11) About how long does the installation process take with your Dothan installers?

Once the tub arrives, an installment needs between one and three days of work in Dothan. It really depends upon the scope of the work. You must let us know if there's a vital deadline involving a household member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from Alabama rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 12

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

Yes, producers do offer do-it-yourself installments of a bath conversion kit. Depending on whether you have the correct tools and specialized familiarity with the instruments, it is potential. Nonetheless, lots of times, someone believes it is going to be cheap to buy all the tools that are appropriate. These tools could be expensive, so be sure you compare the expense of purchasing all the tools and also the price of your time learning just how to install the kit together with the cost of a professional setup. Then the directions may seem fairly easy, in case you are someone who does a large amount of home improvements. Otherwise, you might want to save yourself the trouble and expense by investing in Dothan professionals who will install it correctly.
