Our Franklin team of installers is ready to make the day-to-day task of cleaning yourself fun and simple with new gear that virtually eliminates slips and falls in then toilet.

Question 1

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

Many upgraded homeowner's insurance policies protect against flooding from your pipes and appliances. Check with your Franklin homeowner's insurance to ensure it will cover you against this sort of damage. You may need a house alteration license from the Franklin, TN building department to set up a bath, especially if walls need to be removed to match your bathroom plans. Most importantly, you didn't get one AND somehow and in case you needed a license 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 ever selling your Franklin house, there are loads of buyer beware messages out there that will steer potential buyers from your house since it does affect homeowner's insurance if there have been any advancements without permits. Buyers see their homeowners insurance and the licenses as protections on their investments in homes.

Question 2

2) Is there a way to re-sell the tub once we are done with it?

You can resell or locate used walk-in baths being sold online. Nonetheless, a lot of folks typically want to ensure that they are purchasing a walk in bathtub that personally fulfills with their needs for the long term. They are not as inclined to choose a huge risk by paying all of the costs associated with shipping and the removal of their present bath without a little more investment and assurance in quality along with the state of their purchase. There's not actually a huge marketplace for plumbing fixtures that are used. In case you are unsure how long you're going to be at your Franklin dwelling and can not warrant a long-term care option of a major walk-in tub setup, then there are easy measure retrofits that give you the ability to return the toilet to an unmodified bathroom to avoid turning potential buyers away who don't desire to pay for a large removal. Eventually, should you believe you could try to resell your walk-in bathtub, the next buyer might want to know if the lifetime guarantee is extended to other owners as well or if they are going to need to cover the costs connected with a door seal or alternative part damages that could occur with use.

Question 3

3) Is there any additional structural support needed before installation?

Many walk in tubs are mounted to a stainless steel welded support frame with leveling feet that is included with your bathtub that was purchased. The floor in the toilet must have a structural support strength that transcends the weight of the bathtub plus the weight of the water. Our Franklin installer will check to determine when it is not, if the floor is level and otherwise, then they will use the leveling legs to adjust the degree of the bath. Obviously, the prior bath will have to be eliminated. In addition, the if replacing the wall or tile in the region will have to be removed.

Question 4

4) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in Tennessee?

In case your impairment was a result of a vehicle or work injury, check together with the appropriate insurance carrier to see if home adjustments resulting from your TN disability are covered. Claims that contain Franklin house modifications are admissible in insurance resolutions. Someone have a health condition that meets their definition of disability and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they've worked in work that was insured by Social Security. Benefits may be insured, in the event you are injured or on impairment. Since SSI is a needs-based program along with an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualification for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person who has a disability to achieve an occupational objective. The cash that is set aside under a PASS may be used for anything that results in an occupational goal and can be utilized to cover home adjustments through an SSI savings plan. If you're a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual plans that might enable you to deflect some of the price. There are Tennessee residence modification grants which are available that might provide you aid for the installation and purchase of a walk-in tub: (1) the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant; (2) the Special House Version (SHA) Grants; and the Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) Grant. Contact the form 26-4555 to submit an application for SHA or SAH grant. For information on all VA benefits in Tennessee call 1-800-827-1000.

Question 5

5) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Tennessee?

Aetna will not cover walkin bathtubs under their plans that are conventional in Tennessee. They usually follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the restroom. If the member is bed- confined or room - some DMEs are considered medically necessary, rather than a convenience. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's needed for day-to-day activities and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living activity and considered crucial, Aetna lists toilet items which are considered medically necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated or unable to transfer to and from a bathtub.

Question 6

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

Consumer Affairs urges that an initial owner purchase a lifetime warranty to give buyers peace of mind about escapes. Additionally, ask if the lifetime guarantee is extended to other owners as well. For Tennessee house setups, this will likely be included for a set amount of years.

Question 7

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

Yes, makers do offer do-it-yourself installations of a bath conversion kit. Depending on whether you possess the appropriate tools and specialized acquaintance with the tools, it's potential. Nonetheless, many times, someone thinks it's definitely going to be cheap to purchase all the tools that are appropriate. These tools can be expensive, so be sure you compare the cost of buying each of the tools as well as the expense of your time learning how to install the kit together with the expense of a professional setup. Then the directions may seem pretty simple, in case you are someone who does a great deal of home improvements. Just make certain the unit is tested by them according to the Maker 's instructions and that the unit you purchased did not get harmed during transport.

Question 8

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

They're simple to clean, but unlike regular tubs, itis wise to keep a daily cleaning custom with a walk in bathtub subsequent manufacturer's recommendations and using the products that are right. You wish to really make sure with a walk in bath that you remove spots and scum to protect the surface. Get into the habit of wiping down the surfaces that are wet after each use to help avoid the build up scum, which will necessitate more scrubbing afterwards. Weekly, use cleaners to clean your walkin tub. Products that address your particular water spot and deposits should be considered in addition to any indicators that these products may destroy the finish on your bathtub. You want to familiarize yourself with the very best cleaning methods for your sort of tub since baths are generally either acrylic or fiberglass. Fiberglass is porous and fragile and can easily dull and blot. Acrylic is non porous and simple to clean. Don't use abrasive cleaners you might dull the finish and scrape on the tub. Additionally, if the weather allows, air the room out in order that it does not remain humid all day. Some manufacturers recommend that your own bathroom window opens for an hour daily to let moisture escape.

Question 9

9) How do walk in bathtubs work?

When you enter the walk-in bathtub, by pulling the handle toward you, you shut the doorway and seal it. Make sure the handle is locked so as to prevent any water loss. There are several types of handles determined by the version you decide to buy. Make sure it is a handle that you can quickly operate. Then, you close the floor drain and ensure that the anti-scald device has already been preset before utilizing the bath. Manufacturers may also recommend a maximum time of use. You need to empty the water when you have completed your bath, remove the drain depending on the kind of drain or turn the overflow knob. Pull on the bathtub exit and handle the bath.

Question 10

10) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Tennessee?

Medicare doesn't cover walk-in bathtub gear and installation prices in Tennessee, for the reason that they're home alterations, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment doesn't include physical changes to a house, simply medical equipment and materials that are used to help a patient in and out of bed or a chair, or use a shower or bathtub safer and simpler. Consumer Affairs indicates that you may wish to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom security reasons) a walk in bath is warranted to determine whether the equipment could be somewhat compensated. More often than not, they won't cover it. However, if you're eligible for Medicaid, the system in your state may provide you with some financial assistance for a walk in tub. You may be eligible for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for particular specialized medical equipment and accessibility modifications. If you're a recipient of Medicaid and Medicare, it's also wise to consider the Dual-Eligible Specific Needs Plan. This strategy is part of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. Medicaid offers a complete listing of waivers relevant to the elderly that we suggest that you review. Also, contact your Franklin or Tennessee Area Agency on Aging (AAA) to investigate Medicaid Waivers and financial options for long term care.

Question 11

11) Do these tubs drain normally?
