Our Fort Myers installers are ready to make your toilet safe by getting you the proper gear so you could take care of yourself.

Question 1

1) Will a tub like this add to my Fort Myers home’s resale value?

In case you reside in a Fort Myers retirement community, installing a walk in bath may raise the value of your own home. It probably will not raise the value of your home. Since modifications to your bathroom do not generally raise the value of your house, the cost can be eligible for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in Florida if the principal objective of the improvements is to accommodate a residence to the disability of the taxpayer, their partner or dependent living there.

Question 2

2) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems employ a gravity simply drainage system, while other manufacturers offer power assisted drainage systems. Usually, the drainage system in a walk in bath is attached to the standard tub drain, which is threaded into a horizontal conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed under its flange using a foam washer or putty. The large difference is that makers have tried to reduce the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water to drain can leave a bather feeling chilled since a bather cannot leave the tub until all of the water is drained. Comparing double drain options to quick drain options is important when considering that most walk in baths take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which requires the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some features may cost you more, so it's almost always a good idea to ask. Eventually, get to be aware of the difference between frameless tubs and framed tubs since frameless tubs tend to empty faster than framed tubs, because they don't alter the drain height of your existing bath. Framed tubs are assembled on a steel frame and the base of the bath is hung off the ground. Frameless tubs are designed with an extra-strength form that does not necessitate a steel frame and the bottom of the bath is not suspended in the air.

Question 3

3) What types of financing are available in Florida if insurance doesn't cover home modifications?

The American Elder Care Research Organization lists several other financial assistance paths to think about when searching for aid to buy your walk in bath. (1) The US Department of Agriculture helps low income and elderly residents of rural areas make home modifications to empower aging set up. The USA Rural Development plan is also referred to as the Section 504 plan, the Very Low-Income Housing Repair program along with the RD 504 Loan Program. The alterations can include a walk-in bathtub. There are geographical and age, income requirements to participate. Following that, you can click on your own county as well as a record of service centers including phone numbers will pop up. (2) For a non-Medicaid state financial assistance system for the elderly, you can check this list to determine whether there are any that include home modifications. https://www.payingforseniorcare.com/home-modifications/state-assistance-programs.html (3) Rebuilding Together, a national non profit that can perhaps offset the installation prices of a walk-in bathtub, can be a great resource. Contact them at http://www.togetherwetransform.org/find-your-local-affiliate (4)There are other alternatives to consider. The Internal Revenue Service may decide your house adjustment qualifies for tax deductions as a dental and medical expense. There are also qualifications to be able to maintain an individual who requires attention as a dependent. Call the IRS to determine when you can deduct the cost of installing your walk-in bath. IRS Publication 502 is a good resource that will allow you to judge whether modifying your bathroom qualifies you to deduct it as a medical expense. You may also phone them at (800) 829-1040. (5) The National Resource Center on Supportive Housing and Home Modification may also allow you to locate help to pay for home modifications.

Question 4

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

AARP isn't a provider of insurance, but contracts with insurance companies to make coverage available to AARP members. AARP does not make health plan recommendations for people and does not cover the cost of walk in tubs or some well-being needs. AARP does provide accessibility to health care tools and coverage like other health plans and Medicare Supplement Insurance to members as a resource, but third parties provide member advantages. Check with the plans which are recorded under the membership services of AARP in Florida.

Question 5

5) How much do walk-in bathtubs cost in Fort Myers?

A walk in bathtub in Fort Myers commonly ranges in price from $1,700 to over $30,000. The price also changes depending on whether you pick acrylic or fiberglass tubs. Everyone is different and ensuring that a walk-in tub works for someone 's unique circumstances is very critical since it's usually replacing a bathtub or bathing assembly that's not satisfying their needs. A good walk in tub runs between $3,000 and $8,000 installed. Some providers provide monthly payments or a cash bonus.

Question 6

6) Are these tubs as easy to clean as normal tubs?

They're not difficult to wash, but unlike routine baths, it's advisable to maintain a day-to-day cleaning custom with a walk-in bathtub using the products that are correct and subsequent manufacturer's recommendations. You would like to really make sure with a walk in bath that you remove spots and scum to protect the surface. Depending on whether you have hard water, soft water, or well water, you'll see different types of stains and deposits on your bath. Get into the habit of wiping down the wet surfaces after every use to help prevent the build up scum, which will need more scrubbing afterwards. Weekly, use cleaners to clean your walk-in tub. Products that address your specific water spot and deposits should be considered as well as any indicators that these products may ruin the finish on your own tub. Since baths are generally either fiberglass or acrylic, you need to get familiar with the best cleaning techniques for your type of tub. Fiberglass can easily dull and is brittle and porous and spot. Acrylic is non porous and easy to wash. Do not use abrasive cleaners you might dull the finish and scratch on the bathtub. Also, if the weather permits, air the room out in order that it does not remain humid all day. Some manufacturers advise that you open your own bathroom window for an hour every day to let moisture escape.

Yes. Be careful of the quantity of atmosphere and water that comes out of the jets to make sure it's the proper amount which will soothe pains and your sore muscles using a massage sensation. Jets could be placed to target particular areas to provide for the most effective effects. Many Fort Myers customers enjoy the therapeutic effect of having jets installed inside their walk in bath for an extensive range of health conditions that gain from the extra easiness.

Question 9

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

Many upgraded homeowner's insurance policies protect against flooding from your plumbing and appliances. Check with your Fort Myers homeowner's insurance to ensure it's going to cover you against this kind of damage. You may need a home modification license from the Fort Myers, FL building department to set up a tub, particularly when walls have to be removed to fit your bathroom plans. Most of all, in the event you needed a license and you didn't get one AND somehow your house suffers from damage from the installed walk in bath, your losses may not be covered by your homeowner's insurance. If you plan on selling your Fort Myers house, there are plenty of buyer beware messages out there that will steer potential buyers from your home if there have been any improvements without licenses since it does affect homeowner's insurance. Buyers see the licenses as well as their homeowners insurance as protections on their investments in houses.

Question 10

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

Mainly you're paying for a listing of safety features that are unavailable on a regular bathtub. These safety features are built into walk in baths for individuals with limited mobility to lower the possibility of falling down. Version wall heights are usually 37 to 47 inches tall and contain a built in shower seat, textured floor, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, and a water-tight door. A crucial feature of walk-in baths is that there's a low step threshold to permit a user to easily enter into the bathtub unconcerned in regards to the normal high wall of a regular bathtub. The walk in tubs also generally comprise improved drain alternatives, jet therapy, and a cleaning function. Moreover, among the reasons why the cost changes among the walk in tubs is that the tubs are custom made depending on someone 's demands rather than factory replicated, so you could discover a bathtub that is specifically made for somebody who needs wheelchair access, a tub that fits a bigger person, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 11

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

Yes. There are walkin bathtub installments that offer you a big standing area for stand-up showers. You can shower standing up or sitting down. Make sure you get the correct dimensions for the walk in tub so that you don't feel cramped during a standup shower. Additionally, if you need to maintain your standing shower, since if your faucet is not 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.

Question 12

12) How do walk in bathtubs work?

When you enter the walk in bathtub, by pulling the handle toward you, you shut the doorway and seal it. Make sure that the handle is locked so as to prevent any water decline. There are different types of handles depending on the version you choose to purchase. Be sure it is a handle that you could quickly operate. Then, the floor drain shut and ensure that the anti-scald device has already been preset before using the tub. Be sure to get familiar with the operating instructions to estimate which speed works best for your requirements should you plan on using jets. Manufacturers may also advocate a maximum time of use. When you've completed your bath, remove the drain depending on the type of drain or turn the overflow knob you have to drain the water. Pull on the bath handle and exit the tub.
