Question 3

3) About how much will one of these tubs cost to get installed?

The setup can cost you approximately $1,500-$3,000 to be installed in Davenport. Sometimes the cost of the unit along with the installation is a better investment than paying for a caretaker.

Question 4

4) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in Iowa?

In case your disability was due to a work or vehicle accident, check together with the appropriate insurance carrier to determine if house modifications resulting from your IA disability are insured. Claims that include Davenport house modifications are admissible in insurance settlements. A person qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they've worked in a job that was covered by Social Security and have a health condition that meets their definition of disability. If you're on handicap or injured, benefits may be covered. Since SSI is a needs-based program and an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualifications for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person with a disability to achieve an occupational objective. The money that is set aside under a PASS could be used for anything that contributes to an occupational objective and may be utilized to cover house modifications through an SSI savings plan. You will figure out more about PASS through your local Social Security Administration office or call toll free 800-772-1213. In the event you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual programs that may assist you to deflect a number of the cost. There are Iowa dwelling adjustment grants which are available that may provide you assistance for the installation and purchase of a walk in bathtub: (1) the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant; (2) the Special House Variation (SHA) Grants; and the Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) Grant. Contact the form 26-4555 to apply for SHA or SAH grant. For information on all VA benefits in Iowa call 1-800-827-1000.

Question 5

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

Yes, producers do offer do-it-yourself installations of a bathroom conversion kit. Depending on whether you possess the best tools and technical acquaintance with the instruments, it is not impossible. However, lots of times, someone believes it is definitely going to be inexpensive to buy all the proper tools. These tools can be costly, so be sure you compare the price of buying all the tools along with the cost of your time learning how to install the kit with the expense of a professional setup. Then the directions might seem fairly easy, in the event you're someone who does a large amount of home improvements. If not, you might want to save yourself the trouble and expense by investing in Davenport professionals who'll install it properly. Just make certain they test the unit according to the Maker 's directions and the unit you bought did not get damaged during transport.

Question 6

6) Do these tubs use more water than conventional tubs?

Yes. A walk in bathtub is generally taller than an average bath tub, which contains about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some producers say if a standard shower is 7 minutes that you use exactly the same amount of water as a standard shower and also you use 7 gallons of water a minute. Most of the walk in tubs available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. In fact, many manufacturers recommend that you have a hot water tank that holds at least 50 gallons, although some bathtubs will work effectively if you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 7

7) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they could leak. Consumers who purchased more inferior quality fiberglass in a framed walk in bath have reported that their walk in bath eventually revealed spider splitting in the ground region and then leaked. Another common criticism from people who tried to save money and purchased a lousy quality tub comes from door flows. When buying a walk-in bathtub, make sure you buy a lifetime guarantee, because as soon as the door escapes, you can't use the bath, until the seal is fixed by you. Ensure the walk-in bathtub is strong and stiff to prevent any flex that inhibits a water-tight door. Also, during the installation process, it is highly recommended that the Iowa installer never lift the bath by the pipes, because it can result in escapes. Additionally during hauling any damage that may have occurred can loosen fittings and mishandling and cause leakage. Before using the walk in tub, it's important that the installer test the bathtub correctly according to the instruction manual. In case the bathtub is not installed level with the supporting attributes supplied, the water may have trouble emptying correctly and might create the door to leak. Eventually, make sure you understand the risks linked to the positioning of your walk-in tub, especially alcoves, since they have specific conditions to avert leaking.

Question 8

8) About how long does the installation process take with your Davenport installers?

Once the tub arrives, an installation needs between one and three days of work in Davenport. It certainly depends upon the scope of the work. You need to let us know if there's a critical deadline involving a family member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from Iowa rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 9

9) Can I make one of these myself?

Yes, but most folks don't start from scratch, they begin with a bathtub conversion kit. There are instructions available on how exactly to convert your existing bathtub into a walk in tub. We recommend that you understand the way to make use of the tools that are right so that you just don't end up with a non-working bath. There are firms that understand the best way to turn your handicap that is tub more as well as your home accessible for less of an investment than alternatives. As Iowa installers, we understand just how to direct you in the proper course, so please ask us for a consultation so we can assist you in making your home match your current needs, particularly if you have recently become disabled or are supplying an elderly individual care-giving in their house or your residence.

Question 10

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

Largely you are 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 freedom to decrease the possibility of falling down. Model wall heights are normally 37 to 47 inches tall and include a built-in shower seat, textured flooring, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, plus a water tight door. A crucial feature of walk-in baths is that there's a low step threshold to permit a user to readily enter into the tub unconcerned about the conventional high wall of a normal bathtub. The walk in tubs also usually comprise improved drain choices, jet treatment, and a cleaning function. Moreover, one of the reasons why the cost varies among the walk-in tubs is that the baths are custom-made depending on someone 's demands rather than factory reproduced, so you can discover a bath that's specially made for someone who needs wheelchair access, a bath that fits a bigger individual, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 11

11) Do these tubs drain normally?

Yes. Sometimes, however, it is crucial to modify the plumbing determined by the precise location of the drains. Installers may have to put in a fitting to the existing wastewater pipe for a walk-in bathtub. Existing pipes may allow for slower drain times or quicker drain times.

Question 12

12) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems use a gravitation simply drainage system, while other makers offer power assisted drainage systems. Normally, the drainage system in a walk-in tub is attached to the normal tub drain, which is threaded into a horizontal pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed using a foam washer or putty under its flange. Since a bather cannot leave the bath until all the water is emptied, the large difference is the fact that makers have attempted to decrease the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water can leave a bather feeling chilled. Comparing double drain alternatives to quick drain alternatives is significant when considering that most walk-in baths take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which necessitates that the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some characteristics may cost you more, so it is always advisable to inquire. Eventually, get to know the difference between frameless baths since because they do not alter the drain height of your existing bath frameless baths tend to empty faster than framed tubs and framed baths. Framed baths are assembled on a steel framework and the base of the bath is dangled off the ground. Frameless tubs are designed with an extra-strength form that really doesn't require a steel framework and the bottom of the bath isn't suspended in the air.
