Remodeling is a Quick Fix for Many Problems

Remodeling is often brought on by problems in the bathroom area.

Mold and Mildew Growth

Bacteria growth is a strong catalyst for bathroom renovations, especially because of the threat it presents to your health and safety.

When water, moisture, and humidity have damaged old bathrooms, the space is prone to bacteria growth that creates mold and mildew.

We all know that mold is dangerous—it
comes with a host of issues like bronchitis,
asthma, allergies, and severe breathing problems.

Children are known to be especially susceptible to these issues too. The longer it remains, the more severe the health problems can become.

It’s vital that you take action.

Bathroom Hack

White vinegar is a non-toxic, all-natural cleaner that works against most molds.

DID YOU KNOW

The average nation ROI for bathroom remodels is between 60% - 85%.

Truth About Leaks

The most expensive leak is the one you ignore. Quick repairs could turn into costly ones if walls and floors rot.

Leaks and Breaks

Leaks and breaks also tend to drive people towards remodeling.

Quickly fixing leaks and plumbing issues, as well as keeping the room clean and updated, will go a long way in preventing that mold.

Leaky pipes aren’t the end-all be-all of bathroom remodeling, though. Call a plumber and attempt to repair them first.

Same goes with damaged materials. If you can repair them without a full scale remodel, attempt to do so and save yourself some money.

However, if the same problem occurs again, or different breaks occur regularly, then it’s time to remodel.

Having all that extra moisture everywhere from broken parts is too dangerous.

Overall Aesthetics

Bathroom remodels also update the style, looks, and aesthetics of bathroom spaces to design a more practical and pleasing room—don’t we all want a relaxing escape of a bathroom?
