Plumbing Considerations Before Replacing Your Bathtub
Introduction
At one time or another, you may find yourself in a situation that will require you to replace your bathtub. This may be due to a defective bathtub or even just for normal upgrade. Carrying out the whole replacement may not be quite an easy undertaking as the new bathtub must be compatible with the current plumbing system. With this in mind, there are few things you need to carefully assess before embarking on the actual bathtub replacement.
Analyze the plumbing system
It is very important to first analyze the current plumbing system and ascertain if there are any defects or leaks within the plumbing framework. This is especially in cases where the replacement is due to a faulty bathtub. Checking for problems within the current plumbing system is important as it may help you know what went wrong with the faulty tub. Without this, you may end up experiencing the same problem even after replacing the bathtub as the problem may be within the plumbing system and not the tub itself.
Compatibility
Another major consideration is compatibility. Make sure the new bathtub you are sourcing for is compatible with the current plumbing framework. This is in terms of measurement, weight and pipe dimensions and design.
Cost and time
You also need to know the costs that you may incur in the replacement. This will help you plan your budget to avoid any unexpected costs. When it comes to time, it’s also important to know the time it will take to replace the bathtub so that you can plan for another bathtub alternative when the replacement is ongoing.
