Common Issues That Arise During a Bathroom Remodel

Issues can arise with any type of remodeling project – and a bathroom remodel is no exception. In fact, you can even argue that a bathroom remodeling project actually takes more time to carry out than general home remodeling as a result of its difficulty. Corroded pipes, water damage and toxic molds can really add to the frustration and costs of a bathroom remodeling project. The key to overcoming these issues is to be prepared.

 

At Legacy Design Build Remodeling, we know exactly how difficult a bathroom remodel can be. Below are just a few of the common problems that can arise during a bathroom remodel. We’ll also discuss how we solve these common issues through our expert services.

Corroded Water Pipes

If you have corroded cast-iron or galvanized water pipes, drain lines and water-supply lines, it may be necessary to replace these during a bathroom remodel. Unfortunately, they naturally corrode over time so the only way to lengthen their lifespan is through preventive maintenance. If you’re not sure if the pipes themselves need replacing, have us complete an in-depth inspection.

Water Damage

Old tile and grout may have allowed water vapor to seep into your walls, causing leaks and deterioration in the shower, which must be replaced. The presence of leaks in the bathroom is also potentially dangerous as it makes an already slippery surface even slippier. It’s important to patch these leaks up as soon as possible to prevent further structural issues in your bath space.

Structural Deficiencies in the Floor

New tile will crack if there are structural deficiencies in the floor joists beneath your bathroom. The structural deficiency must be repaired before a new floor can be installed.

Toxic Mold

This is one of the more dangerous yet common concerns you’ll encounter in your bathroom remodeling project. The bathroom is naturally moist, which can make your walls a breeding ground for toxic mold. Walls and other surfaces that have succumbed to mold growth must be removed to ensure the health and safety of your family.

Improper Venting

Insufficient venting that does not meet the requirements of modern plumbing codes must be replaced. This often stems from improper or dated bathroom design. As a result, this is one of the trickier problems to solve since you’ll need to assess the current state of your bathroom first and find out exactly why there’s improper venting. As your local remodelers, we’ll be glad to do an in-depth inspection on your bathroom so we can get to the bottom of your problems and take the necessary steps to more efficient bathroom venting.

The older your home, the more issues that may arise during your bathroom remodeling project, which is why you need to choose a reputable remodeling contractor who will do the job right. A good remodeler will not only transform your bathroom, but will also avoid costly mistakes that will drain your pocketbook down the road. The last thing you want to happen, after all, is for your bathroom to fail when you least expect it.
