10 Reasons to Remodel Your Bathroom

Plumbing companies across the U.S. are reporting that they have new challenges. They need to be able to adapt to bathroom technology. Homeowners are recognizing the centrality of the bathroom. If there is something that can be added to improve their comfort, homeowners respond. This means that plumbing companies will need to be tech-savvy and adaptable enough to navigate through these changes.

Plumbing companies who hope to stick to the old ways and the old technology are finding that they are just not receiving the same volume of customers that they used to. People are more interested in the plumbers who are up to date and prepared for challenges. That emphasizes the importance of the bathroom to Abingdon homeowners. There are several reasons that they think it is important enough to remodel.

1 - You have a mold problem.

You will often see mold accumulating somewhere in your bathroom. Perhaps it accrues somewhere next to the tub, on the wall or on the ceiling. You are often charged with cleaning it off, and you think the problem is solved. But it eventually accrues again. There is excessive condensation somewhere and there is probably mold where you cannot see it.

Homeowners who are concerned with their safety and the safety of their family recognize that they need to do a bit of bathroom remodeling to negotiate their mold problem.

2 - You are concerned with the environment.

We live in a day and age where people are aware of the harm that comes to the planet as a result of human activity. Savvy individuals do everything they can to mitigate this problem. They will reduce their waste and energy consumption as much as possible to preserve the earth's natural resources. This behavior can be extended even to bathroom remodeling.

There are several upgrades that can be made that will reduce your usage of the earth's resources. These include low-flow toilets, energy efficient light bulbs, vent fans, and much more.

3 - You are ready for a change.

Perhaps you are going through a transitional period in your life and you are just ready to move on to something new. Sometimes people do this when a relationship has just ended and they want something to be different. A new and advanced bathroom is a great way to change and upgrade your Abingdon home for the better.

4 - You love the spa.

Everybody loves a day away at the spa. They go in feeling exhausted, with sore bones and throbbing feet from all of the time that they spend at work and caring for their family. Then they go to the spa and step into the steam shower and feel the day soothingly washed away. They wish they could have access to these luxuries on a regular basis. But now, they can. You can. You can add your favorite amenities of the spa to your own bathroom. You can even buy your own steam shower.

5 - For Entertainment Purposes

With all of the time that you spend in the bathroom, you need something to engage your mind. Whether you want to listen to podcasts or the latest music, adding entertainment features to the bathroom has become much more popular throughout the last few years. Many people have a built-in, waterproof stereo in their shower that they can control.

6 - To Upgrade It's Current Look

Bathrooms are becoming much more creative and interesting. When you step into your bathroom, you do not have to be confronted with the same boring layout as every other bathroom. Your bathroom can have a theme. You can get new wallpaper and tiles to correspond to that theme.

With a beach theme, some people mimic a trail of sand leading to the shoreline on their tiles and wallpaper. Some people mimic a cobblestone trail in their bathroom. Get creative. It is your bathroom and you can do anything that you would like to do.

7 - To Build More Shower Space

There is a lot that you have to put in your shower, including shampoo, conditioner, soap, and perhaps much more. If multiple people use the same shower, everybody probably has their own personal bottle. This will create a lot of clutter. Perhaps you can barely take a shower without having something fall on the shower floor. Many people overcome this problem by adding a small compartment in the wall.

8 - To Tile Your Floors

Older homes sometimes have the demerit of a carpeted bathroom. This can be a little frustrating because a lot of water will get on the floor. The carpet probably does not look very attractive anymore. If the toilet floods, it will get ruined pretty quickly. Every time you take a shower, you will have a few little puddles of water on your carpet. You probably cannot even go in there to use the bathroom or brush your teeth without stepping into a damp spot. If you want your carpet removed and your floors redone, you should consider having your bathroom remodeled.

9 - Your toilet is low quality.

Every time you flush the toilet, you might notice ten minutes later that it is still running. So you often have to open up the tank and do a bit of adjusting until the problem is resolved. Similarly, perhaps the toilet is often getting clogged or flooding. Your problems may transcend plumbing or simple repairs. You need a new toilet.

You will probably be impressed with the new toilet technology that is on the market. If you want a tankless toilet, a toilet with a nightlight, an automatically closing lid or even a toilet that cleans the user, it is out there.

10 - You were recently married.

If you were recently married, this means that somebody is going to move in and share a bathroom with you. You may need more space and maybe a double vanity so that you each have your own sink.
