In the back water valve there is a swing flap that is regularly open permitting sewer gases to be vented as well as sewage and greywater to leave your property or home. There is a swing flap in the event of reverse flow of sewage or grey water in the municipal drainage system into your property or home. The flap will start to lift at the same rate as the reverse flow and shut tight in this manner keeping anything from entering your property or home.

When the municipal drainage system clears, the flap will fall into the open position due to gravity, thus permitting water and sewage to continue streaming out of your property or home.

Tub Replacement

Remodeling can involve a few changes like replacing a bathtub with a shower which is at the top of numerous homeowners and property holders’ remodeling lists. And for a great reason. Far less homes today come with tub-only bathrooms, which were resulting in lower resale values. The world is revolving when it comes to retirement, more property owners or homeowners living in their homes lot longer, in return making bathrooms much nicer and livable.

Removing bathtubs and replacing them with showers are some of our most popular bathroom renovations While this is a mind boggling task that can take upwards of three days to seven days to finish, a tub-to-shower change is one that pays itself off after the dust has settled.

Replacing a Tub with a Shower?

Replacing a bathtub with a shower can go in either of two ways: upscale with a showerhead or complete makeover.

Upscale: Adding a Showerhead

Up scaling applies to bathtubs that have only tub faucets and no showerhead and controls. The original bathtub isn’t replaced with a shower base or its three walls. The wall where the faucet is located will be upscale. By adding a new faucet with capabilities of a showerhead or rain head whichever the customer chooses.

With new technology always on the rise, bathtub controls have evolved. An old faucet will be replaced with a new faucet. All new plumbing water lines will be installed. It could be copper or pex piping based on the quote copper being more expensive than plastic pex tubing. With all plumbing done and connected and leak free, the wall will be tiled or the acrylic surround is replaced.

At this point shower door or a tub shower curtain can be installed. The bathtub now can function as both a bathtub and a shower.

Upscale: complete tub shower replacement

Totally replacing the bathtub means removing everything in that space tub, walls, even the ceiling and flooring and installing a bathtub, tub controls and faucet, walls, and door.

Total replacement address on many aspects of bathroom remodeling: demolition, plumbing, flooring, drywall, insulation, and general carpentry. Yet one component makes the project easier: a prefabricated bathtub kit.
Accessible in stock or by custom order at most home centers, this kit provides you with a tub, matching integral wall. Preassembled bathtub kits save considerable time and flatten the learning curve by getting rid of the tricky sub-project of tiling on vertical surfaces.

For diy taking on this project, a premade shower installation is a bit quicker and less hard than if you were to make a shower pan from scratch on a wet mortar bed, plus tiling the walls.

In the old days, a bathroom resembled more like a business or transactional place. It was a place where you would go in and handle your thing and get out quickly. But as it may be, today’s washroom is a sanctuary. If you’re single or a family with kids demanding your attention, the last place you can hide is in the washroom. The washroom is the single place you can remain in peace for hours. For you to stay in the washroom peacefully, it has to be elegant.

Towel Warmer
