Immediatley cease worrying about day-to-day bathing again, and reclaim more liberty and independence in your own daily life in Norwalk.

Question 1

1) Why are these tubs so much more expensive than normal tubs?

Largely you are paying for a list of safety features that are unavailable on a regular tub. These safety features are built into walk-in tubs for persons with limited mobility to decrease the likelihood of falling down. Model wall heights are typically 37 to 47 inches tall and contain a built in shower seat, textured flooring, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, and also a water-tight door. An important feature of walk-in baths is that there is a low step threshold to permit a user to readily enter into the bathtub unconcerned in regards to the conventional high wall of a regular tub. The walk in bathtubs also generally include jet treatment a cleaning function, and improved drain alternatives. Additionally, one of the reasons why the price changes among the walk in baths is that the tubs are custom made depending on a person's needs rather than factory reproduced, so you can discover a bathtub that is specifically made for somebody who desires wheelchair access, a tub that fits a bigger individual, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 2

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

Initial testing and suitable setup should offer you a leak proof experience, yet there are episodes that customers report where they experienced flows. Under appropriate conditions, the door seal should compress making it completely leak proof. Some units contain a second drain under the entry door to help prevent leaks in the event the door does leak. Ask if this feature is contained. As it covers the seal as well as the door in the case of a flow, we highly recommend that you get a lifetime warranty. Many people replace the door seal on a walk-in tub themselves. In addition, it's vital that you take good care of the walk-in tub door when the bath isn't in use to prevent premature failure of the seal. Wiping door jamb and the door seal down after every use can preserve the integrity of the water seal. Follow the maintenance as well as care directions.

Question 3

3) Is there a way to re-sell the tub once we are done with it?

You can re-sell find or used walk in tubs being sold online. However, lots of people typically desire to be sure that they're purchasing a walk in bath that personally matches with their needs for the long-term. They are less inclined to choose a big risk by paying the removal of their existing bathtub and all the costs related to shipping without guarantee and a bit more investment in the condition and quality of their purchase. There isn't actually a big marketplace for used plumbing fixtures. Eventually, if you do believe you could attempt to resell your walk-in tub, the following buyer might want to know whether the lifetime guarantee is extended to other owners too or if they are going to have to cover the costs related to a door seal or alternative component damages that will occur with use.

Question 4

4) How do walk in bathtubs work?

When you go into the walk-in bathtub, you shut the doorway and seal it by pulling on the handle toward you. Make sure that the handle is locked so as to prevent any water decline. There are different kinds of handles depending on the model you choose to buy. Make sure it's a handle you could quickly operate. Following that, you shut the floor drain and make sure that the anti-scald device has been preset before utilizing the tub. You need to drain the water when you have completed your bath, remove the drain depending on the kind of drain or turn the overflow knob. Pull on the bath handle and leave the tub.

Question 5

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

Many upgraded homeowner's insurance policies protect against flooding from your plumbing and appliances. Check with your Norwalk homeowner's insurance to be sure it will cover you against this sort of damage. You may need a house modification permit from the Norwalk, CT building department to install a bath, particularly if walls need to be removed to fit your bathroom plans. Above all, you didn't get one AND somehow and in case you needed a permit your home suffers from damage from the installed walkin bathtub, your losses may not be covered by your homeowner's insurance. Should you plan on selling your Norwalk residence, there are plenty of buyer beware messages out there that will direct prospective buyers from your house if there have been any advancements without permits since it does change homeowner's insurance. Buyers see their homeowners insurance and the permits as protections on their investments in homes.

Question 6

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

Yes, makers do offer do it yourself installments of a bathroom conversion kit. Depending on whether you have the right tools and specialized familiarity with the instruments, it's possible. Nevertheless, many times, someone thinks it's going to be cheap to buy all the tools that are appropriate. These tools may be expensive, so be sure to compare the price of purchasing each of the tools along with the expense of your time learning the best way to install the kit with all the cost of a professional setup. If you're someone who does a large amount of home improvements, then the instructions may seem fairly easy. Just make sure that the unit you bought did not get harmed during transport and they examine the unit in line with the Maker 's directions.

Question 7

7) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Connecticut?

Aetna does not cover walk-in bathtubs under their conventional plans in Connecticut. They typically follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the bathroom. If the member is bed- room or confined - confined some DMEs are considered medically necessary, rather than a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's essential for daily tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living action and considered vital, toilet items that are considered necessary if a member is unable to bathe or shower without being seated or incapable to transfer to and from a tub are listed by Aetna.

Question 8

8) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in Connecticut?

If your disability was a result of a work or car accident, check with the right insurance insurance company to determine if home modifications resulting from your CT impairment are covered. Claims that comprise Norwalk home modifications are admissible in insurance resolutions. A person have a health condition which meets their definition of handicap and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they have worked in a job that was covered by Social Security. Benefits could be insured in case you're injured or on impairment. Since SSI is a needs-based plan as well as an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualification for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person who has a disability to attain an occupational objective. The money that's set aside under a PASS may be used for anything that results in an occupational goal and may be used to cover house modifications through an SSI savings strategy. You can figure out more about PASS through your local Social Security Administration office or call toll free 800 772 1213. If you're a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual programs that will assist you to deflect some of the cost. You may also ask if you are eligible for the which is modeled after Medicaid's Consumer Directed HCBS, or the VA Aid and Attendance, Housebound and other Pensions. Contact the VA and ask for VA form 26-4555 to submit an application for a SAH or SHA grant. For advice on all VA benefits in Connecticut call 1 800 827 1000.

Question 9

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

Many walk in tubs are mounted to a stainless steel welded support frame with leveling feet that is included with your bought bathtub. The floor in the bathroom has to have a structural support strength that transcends the weight of the tub in addition to the weight of the water. Our Norwalk installer will check to determine when it is not, if the floor is level and otherwise, then they will use the leveling legs to correct the level of the tub. Obviously, the prior bath will need to be eliminated. Also, the if replacing the wall or tile in the area will need to be removed.

Question 10

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

AARP is not a provider of insurance, but contracts with insurers to make coverage available to AARP members. AARP will not make health plan recommendations for people and does not cover the expense of walk in tubs or some health needs. AARP does provide access to health care tools and coverage like Medicare Supplement Insurance and other health plans to members as a resource, but member benefits are given by third parties. Check with the plans that are recorded in Connecticut under the membership services of AARP.

Question 11

11) Will a tub like this add to my Norwalk home’s resale value?

Should you reside in a Norwalk retirement community, installing a walk in bathroom may increase the value of your own home. It probably won't raise the value of your house. Since modifications to your toilet do not usually increase the value of your home, the cost could be qualified for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in Connecticut if the main objective of the improvements will be to accommodate a home to the handicap of the taxpayer, their spouse or dependent living there.

Question 12

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

Yes. There are walk in tub installments that provide you with a big standing area for stand-up showers. You can shower sitting down or standing up. Be sure to get the appropriate measurements for the walk in tub so you do not feel cramped during a stand-up shower. Also, if you intend to maintain your standing shower because if your faucet isn't right against a wall, it is far harder to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind would be to ask about the faucet place.
