Replacing Your Bathtub Or Shower
The shower and bathtub in your home are designed to provide excellent durability for years of worry-free use. Over time, however, the years of wear and tear can cause issues to arise that may require a repair or replacement. The most common of these are cracks or leaks developing in or around the shower or tub. When this happens, be sure to call the experienced plumbing professionals at Northwest Plumbing.
Does Your Tub Or Shower Need To Be Replaced?
In our over 30 years of experience in the Knoxville and surrounding counties, we have found that most shower and tub replacements are done for aesthetic reasons more often than for functional ones. However, it is possible for your shower or tub to become damaged and require a replacement.
A faulty shower or tub can cause significant water damage, making them potentially structurally unsound or unsafe to use. Leaks can also result in serious damage to your home and lead to the growth of harmful mold and mildew.
When this is the case, a complete removal of the old shower or tub and the installation of a new one may be required. Doing so will stop any further harm from occurring within your home and reduce the risk of injury.
In certain instances, when the damage isn’t too extensive and does not present a safety concern, a minor repair may be sufficient to restore the shower or tub to good working order. Repairs to minor leaks can be completed quickly and inexpensively, and even minor cosmetic flaws can be corrected.
