Frequently Asked Questions


1) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in Pennsylvania?

In case your disability was a result of a vehicle or work injury, check together with the right insurance carrier to find out if house adjustments resulting from your PA impairment are covered. Claims that comprise Reading dwelling modifications are not inadmissible in insurance settlements. A person have a health condition that meets their definition of impairment and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they've worked in a job that was covered by Social Security. In the event you are injured or on disability, benefits could be covered. Since SSI is a needs-based plan and an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, eligibility for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person who has a disability to attain an occupational goal. The cash that's set aside under a PASS can be used for anything that contributes to an occupational objective and can be used to cover house adjustments through an SSI savings plan. You will learn more about PASS through your local Social Security Administration office or call toll free 800 772 1213.

The floor in the toilet has to have a structural support strength that transcends the weight of the bathtub plus the weight of the water. Our Reading installer will check to ascertain if it's not, if the floor is level and otherwise, then they'll make use of the leveling legs to correct the amount of the bath.

4) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they could leak. Consumers who purchased poorer quality fiberglass in a framed walkin tub have reported that their walk in bathtub eventually revealed spider splitting in the floor region and then leaked. Another common criticism from people who bought a lousy quality tub and tried to save money stems from door leaks. When buying a walk in bath, make sure you buy a lifetime warranty, because as soon as the door leaks, you can not use the bath, until you fix the seal. Ensure the walk in bath is stiff and strong to avoid any flex that inhibits a water-tight door. Also any damage that could have occurred during carrying 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 correctly according to the instruction manual. The water may have trouble draining properly and may cause the door to leak, in case the bath isn't installed level together with the supporting attributes supplied. Finally, make sure to understand the risks related to the positioning of your walk in bathtub, especially alcoves, since they have particular conditions to avert leaking.

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

Yes, producers do offer do-it-yourself installations of a bath conversion kit. Depending on whether you have the correct tools and technical familiarity with the tools, it is not impossible. Nonetheless, lots of times, someone believes it's going to be inexpensive to buy all the tools that are proper. These tools could be costly, so make sure you compare the price of purchasing all of the tools and also the price of your time learning the best way to install the kit together with the cost of a professional installation. Then the directions might seem fairly simple, in case you're someone who does a lot of home improvements. Simply make sure they examine the unit according to the Maker 's directions and the unit you bought didn't get harmed during transportation.

6) How do I know these tubs will fully seal and not leak out all over the floor?

Initial testing and proper setup should give you a leak-proof encounter, nonetheless there are episodes that customers report where they experienced escapes. Under suitable circumstances, the door seal should compress making it totally leak proof. Some units comprise a second drain below the entrance door to help prevent escapes in the event the door does leak. If this feature is comprised, inquire. As it covers the seal and the door in the instance of a flow, we highly advise that you just get a lifetime warranty. Replacement seals will cost you. Some people replace the door seal on a walk-in bath themselves. Also, it is important to take great care of the walk-in bathtub door when the tub isn't in use to prevent premature failure of the seal. Wiping the door seal and door jamb down after every use can keep the integrity of the water seal. Follow the care as well as maintenance instructions. Also, any modest group of soil or debris on the door seal or where the seal comes in touch with the door jamb can result in a modest escape through the door seal, so consistently wipe down the door seal.

7) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Pennsylvania?

Medicare doesn't cover walk-in tub equipment and installation prices in Pennsylvania, since they are home adjustments, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment doesn't contain physical changes to a home, simply medical equipment and supplies which are used to help a patient in and out of bed or a seat, or make use of a shower or tub safer and easier. Consumer Affairs implies that you might want to contact Medicare to see if (for mobility safety reasons) a walk in bathtub is warranted to determine if the gear may be partly compensated. More often than not, it won't be covered by them. But if you're qualified for Medicaid, the system in your state may offer you some financial assistance for a walk in bathtub. You may be eligible for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for specific specialized medical equipment and accessibility adjustments. If you are a recipient of Medicaid and Medicare, it's also wise to consider the Dual-Eligible Special Needs Strategy. The Special Needs Plan (SNP) or Medicaid may consider your qualifications if you can show that a walk in bath is medically necessary, not just a convenience, or as a prevention in the case of a fall, together with a written prescription that describes the requirement for an individual to stay dwelling in their house. Medicaid offers an entire list of waivers related to the elderly that we suggest that you review.

8) What sort of guarantees are there that these tubs won’t leak and damage my Reading house?

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

9) Can I convert my existing bathtub into a walk-in one?

Yes. There are instructions available on the best way to convert your existing bathtub into a walk-in tub. We advise that you simply understand the best way to use the appropriate tools in order that you don't end up with a non-working bath. There are firms in Reading that understand how to turn your house and your handicap that is bath more accessible for less of an investment than alternatives. As installers, we know the way to direct you in the correct direction, so please ask us for a consultation so we can help you make your home meet your current wants, especially if you've recently become disabled or are providing an elderly person care-giving in their own home or your house.

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

Many upgraded homeowner's insurance policies protect against flooding from your plumbing and appliances. Check with your Reading homeowner's insurance to be sure it is going to cover you against this kind of damage. You may need a house adjustment license from the Reading, PA building department to set up a bath, particularly when walls have to be eliminated to fit your toilet plans. Most importantly, in case you needed a license and you did not get one AND your house suffers from damage from the installed walk-in bathtub, your homeowner's insurance may not cover your losses. In case you plan on selling your Reading home, there are heaps of buyer beware messages out there that will direct potential buyers from your home since it does change homeowner's insurance if there have been any developments without permits. Buyers see their homeowners insurance as well as the licenses as protections on their investments in homes.

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

Yes. There are walk in tub installments that offer you a sizable standing place for stand up showers. You can shower sitting down or standing up. Be sure to get the appropriate measurements for the walk in tub in order that you do not feel cramped during a standup shower. Also, should you would like to maintain your standing shower since if your faucet is not right against a wall, it is considerably harder to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind is to ask about the faucet location.

12) Can I choose the color / style to match my interior decoration?

Yes. Walk-in tubs can be personalized to your taste. Check with the manufacturers about Pennsylvania choices. Shades which are uniform with most bathrooms are only offered by some. Choosing the right walk-in bathtub for you means discussing the variety of fashions, sizes and layouts to ensure it suits your own special needs and room requirements. Since most manufacturers make bathtubs in cream and white, you may need to pay an additional fee for a custom colour.
