Increase your Texas home's resale value, and make daily life easier for anyone with balance or mobility issues.

Question 1

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

If you live in a El Paso retirement community, installing a walk-in bathroom may raise the value of your house. Otherwise, it probably will not raise the value of your dwelling. Since changes to your toilet don't generally raise the value of your home, the cost could qualify for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in Texas if the primary purpose of the enhancements would be to adapt a dwelling to the impairment of the citizen, their spouse or dependent living there.

Question 2

2) Do these tubs drain normally?

Yes. Occasionally, however, it is crucial to modify the plumbing determined by the positioning of the drains. Installers may need to add a fitting to the present wastewater conduit for a walk in bathtub. Present pipes may allow for slower drain times or more rapid drain times.

Question 3

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

Many upgraded homeowner's insurance policies protect against flooding from your pipes and appliances. Check with your El Paso homeowner's insurance to make sure it'll cover you against this sort of damage. You might need a house modification license from the El Paso, TX building department to install a tub, particularly when walls have to be removed to coordinate with your toilet plans. Most importantly, if you needed a permit and you didn't get one AND somehow your home suffers from damage from the installed walkin tub, your losses may not be covered by your homeowner's insurance. If you're planning on ever selling your El Paso house, there are heaps of buyer beware messages out there that will steer prospective buyers from your house since it does influence homeowner's insurance, if there have been any developments without permits. Buyers see the permits and their homeowners insurance as protections on their investments in houses.

Question 4

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

The setup can really cost you around $1,500-$3,000 to be installed in El Paso. Sometimes the expense of the setup as well as the unit is a better investment than paying for a caretaker.

Question 5

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

Yes. There are walk-in tub installations that provide you with a big standing area for stand-up showers. You can either shower sitting down or standing up. Be sure to get the correct measurements for the walk in bathtub so that you do not feel cramped during a stand-up shower. Also, should you would like to maintain your standing shower, since if your faucet isn't directly against a wall, it's considerably harder to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind is always to ask about the faucet location.

Question 6

6) Is there a way to get Jacuzzi jets in my tub?

Yes. Be careful of the amount of water and air that comes out of the jets to make sure it is the appropriate number which will soothe your sore muscles and pains with a massage sense. Jets could be positioned to target particular regions to provide for the very best effects. Many El Paso customers take pleasure in the therapeutic effect of having jets installed in their own walk-in tub for an extensive array of health conditions that gain from the added easiness.

Question 7

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

The American Elder Care Research Organization lists several other financial assistance paths to take into account when looking for assistance to purchase your walk in bath. (1) The US Department of Agriculture helps low income and elderly residents of rural areas make house modifications to enable aging in place. The USA Rural Development program is also known as the Section 504 plan, the Very Low-Income Housing Repair program along with the RD 504 Loan Program. The modifications may have a walk-in bathtub. There are age, income and geographical requirements to participate. To find out more about the maximum amounts available, other limits and just how to apply, visit http://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov/eligibility/welcomeAction.do and click on your state after you click on the 'Contact Us' link. Following that, you can click in your county and a record of service centers including phone numbers will pop up. (2) For a non-Medicaid state financial assistance program for the aged, you can check this list to find out if 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 maybe cancel the installation prices of a walk-in bathtub, can be a good resource. Contact them at http://www.togetherwetransform.org/find-your-local-affiliate (4)There are other choices to consider. The Internal Revenue Service may determine that your home adjustment qualifies for tax deductions as a dental and medical expense. This really should not be confused with the Dependent Care Tax Credit, which is used for dependent care expenses incurred by a primary taxpayer to enable them to work instead of caring for their dependent. There are also qualifications in order to claim an individual who needs attention as a dependent. Phone the Internal Revenue Service to see when you can deduct the price of installing your walk in bathtub. IRS Publication 502 is a great resource that can allow you to gauge whether changing your toilet qualifies you to deduct it as a medical expense. You can also call them at (800) 829-1040.

Question 8

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

In case your disability was a result of a vehicle or work injury, check together with the appropriate insurance insurance company to find out if house adjustments resulting from your TX disability are insured. Claims that contain El Paso dwelling adjustments are admissible in insurance resolutions. A person have a medical condition that meets their definition of disability and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they've worked in work that was covered by Social Security. Benefits may be insured in the event you're injured or on handicap. Since SSI is a needs-based program and an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualification for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person with a disability to achieve an occupational objective. The cash that is set aside under a PASS could be used for anything that contributes to an occupational goal and may be used to cover house modifications through an SSI savings plan. In case you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual plans that might help you deflect some of the price. Contact the form 26-4555 to make an application for a SAH or SHA grant. For information on all VA benefits in Texas call 1 800 827 1000.

Question 9

9) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they can leak. Another common complaint from people who purchased a poor quality tub and attempted to save cash comes from door flows. When buying a walk-in bath, be sure to purchase a lifetime warranty, because as soon as the door escapes, the tub can't be used by you, until the seal is fixed by you. Be sure that the walk in bath is powerful and stiff to prevent any flex that inhibits a water-tight door. Also during carrying any damage that could have happened can loosen appointments and mishandling and cause leakage. Before using the walk-in bath, it is significant that the bathtub is tested by the installer properly according to the instruction manual. The water may have trouble emptying correctly and may create the door to leak, in case the bathtub is not installed degree with the supporting features provided. Finally, be sure to comprehend the hazards related to the placement of your walk in bathtub, notably alcoves, because they have special requirements to avert leaking.

Question 10

10) About how long does the installation process take with your El Paso installers?

Once the tub arrives, an installment requires between one and three days of labor in El Paso. It surely depends upon the extent of the job. You must let us know if there's a critical deadline involving a household member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from Texas rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 11

11) What sort of guarantees are there that these tubs won’t leak and damage my El Paso house?

Consumer Affairs urges that a first owner purchase a lifetime warranty to give buyers peace of mind about flows. Also, ask if the lifetime warranty is extended to other owners too. For most Texas house setups, this will probably be contained for a set number of years.

Question 12

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

They are not difficult to wash, but unlike regular baths, itis wise to keep a daily cleaning habit with a walk in bath following manufacturer's recommendations and using the appropriate products. You would like to actually make sure with a walk in bath that you remove scum and spots to secure the surface. Depending on whether you have soft water, hard water, or well water, you'll see different kinds of spots and deposits on your own tub. Get into the habit of wiping down the wet surfaces after each use to help avoid the build up scum, which will demand more scrubbing later. Weekly, use cleansers to clean your walk-in bath. Products that address your unique water stain and deposits should be considered as well as any signs that these products may ruin the finish on your bath. Since baths are usually either acrylic or fiberglass, you need to get familiar with the most effective cleaning techniques for your type of tub. Fiberglass is fragile and porous and can readily dull and stain. Acrylic is non porous and easy to wash. Additionally, if the weather permits, air the room out in order that it doesn't stay humid. Some manufacturers advise that your bathroom window opens for an hour each day to let moisture escape.
