Our Lakewood installers are prepared to make your toilet safe again, in order to take care of yourself, by getting you the right gear.

Question 1

1) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in New Jersey?

Aetna doesn't cover walk in bathtubs under their plans that are conventional in New Jersey. They normally follow Medicare's standards for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the restroom. In case the member is bed- confined or room - some DMEs are considered medically necessary, as opposed to a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's needed for daily activities and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living action and considered crucial, toilet items that are considered medically necessary if a member is unable to bathe or shower without being seated or incapable to transfer to and from a tub are listed by Aetna.

Question 2

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

Yes. There are instructions available on how to convert your existing bathtub into a walk-in tub. We recommend that you simply know how exactly to use the right tools in order that you don't end up with a non-working tub.

Question 3

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

Yes. Check with the makers about New Jersey alternatives. Some only offer shades that are uniform with most toilets. Selecting the right walk in bathtub for you means discussing the number of styles, sizes and layouts to make sure it satisfies your own special needs and room requirements. You may have to pay an additional fee for a custom colour since most producers make bathtubs in cream and white.

Question 4

4) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they can leak. Consumers who bought more inferior quality fiberglass in a framed walk-in bath have reported that their walk in bath finally revealed spider breaking in the ground area and then leaked. Another common criticism from people who attempted to save cash and bought an inferior quality bath comes from door escapes. When purchasing a walk-in bath, make sure that you buy a lifetime warranty, because as soon as the door escapes, you can not use the tub, until the seal is fixed by you. Be sure that the walk in bathtub is stiff and strong to avoid any flex that inhibits a watertight door. Additionally, during the installation process, it is highly recommended that the New Jersey installer never lift the tub by the pipes, because it can result in flows. Also during transporting any damage that could have occurred can loosen fittings and mishandling and cause leakage. Before using the walk in tub, it is significant that the installer examine the bathtub correctly according to the instruction manual. In case the bath isn't installed degree together with the supporting attributes supplied, the water may create the door to leak and may have trouble emptying correctly. Finally, be sure to comprehend the risks associated with the positioning of your walk-in tub, especially alcoves, because they have specific requirements to prevent leaking.

Question 5

5) Why are these tubs so much more expensive than normal tubs?

Mainly you are paying for a list of safety features that are unavailable on a regular bath. These safety features are built into walk in bathtubs for persons with limited mobility to decrease the chance of falling down. Version wall heights are generally 37 to 47 inches tall and include a built-in shower seat, textured floor, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, plus a water tight door. An important feature of walk in baths is that there's a low step threshold to permit a user to easily enter into the bathtub unconcerned concerning the typical high wall of a regular bathtub. The walk-in bathtubs also normally include a cleaning function, jet treatment, and improved drain options. Moreover, one of the reasons why the price varies among the walk-in baths is that the baths are custom-made depending on someone 's demands rather than factory copied, in order to find a bathtub that is especially made for somebody who desires wheelchair access, a bath that fits a bigger individual, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 6

6) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems apply a gravitation just drainage system, while other makers offer power assisted drainage systems. Normally, the drainage system in a walk-in bathtub is attached to the normal tub drain, which is threaded into a flat pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed under its flange using a foam washer or putty. Since a bather cannot leave the tub until all of the water is emptied, the big difference is that manufacturing companies have attempted to reduce the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water can leave a bather feeling chilled. Some features may cost you more, therefore it's almost always advisable to ask. Eventually, get to know the difference between frameless tubs and framed tubs since because they don't change the drain height of your existing bath frameless baths often drain faster than framed baths. Framed baths are made on a steel framework and the base of the tub is suspended off the floor. Frameless baths are made with an extra-strength form that doesn't necessitate a steel frame and the bottom of the bathtub isn't hung in the air.

Question 7

7) Do these tubs use more water than conventional tubs?

Yes. A walk-in bathtub is not normally shorter than an average bath tub, which includes about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some producers say that you use the same amount of water as a regular shower if a standard shower is 7 minutes and you use 7 gallons of water a minute. Most of the walk in tubs available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. In fact, many manufacturers advise that you've got a hot water tank that holds at least 50 gallons, even though some bathtubs will operate effectively if you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 8

8) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in New Jersey?

If your disability was a result of a vehicle or work injury, check with the correct insurance carrier to find out if house modifications resulting from your NJ impairment are covered. Claims that include Lakewood dwelling adjustments are admissible in insurance settlements. A person have a medical condition that meets their definition of disability and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they have worked in a job that was covered by Social Security. Benefits might be covered, in case you're injured or on disability. Since SSI is a needs-based program along with 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 achieve an occupational goal. The cash that's set aside under a PASS may be used for anything that leads to an occupational objective and may be utilized to cover home adjustments through an SSI savings strategy. If you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual programs that might help you deflect some of the price. There are New Jersey home modification grants which are available that may give you aid for the installation and purchase of a walk-in bath: (1) the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant; (2) the Special Dwelling Version (SHA) Grants; along with the Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) Grant. You may also ask in case you qualify for the which is modeled after Medicaid's Consumer Directed HCBS, or the VA Aid and Attendance, Housebound and other Pensions. Contact the form 26-4555 to apply for SHA or SAH grant. For information on all VA benefits in New Jersey call 1-800-827-1000.

Question 9

9) Will a tub like this look bad for my homeowner’s insurance in New Jersey?

Many updated homeowner's insurance policies protect against flooding from your pipes and appliances. Check with your Lakewood homeowner's insurance to be sure it's going to cover you against this kind of damage. You might need a house alteration license from the Lakewood, NJ building department to install a bath, particularly when walls need to be eliminated to coordinate with your bathroom plans. Most importantly, you didn't get one AND somehow and in the event you needed a license your house suffers from damage from the installed walk-in bathtub, your homeowner's insurance may not cover your losses. If you plan on ever selling your Lakewood dwelling, there are lots of buyer beware messages out there which will steer potential buyers from your house since it does change homeowner's insurance if there have been any improvements without licenses. Buyers see their homeowners insurance as well as the permits as protections on their investments in homes.

Question 10

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

Appropriate installation and initial testing should give you a leakproof experience, yet there are incidents that customers report where they experienced escapes. Under proper circumstances, the weight of the water should compress the door seal making it completely leak proof. Some units include another drain under the entry door to help prevent escapes if the door does leak. Ask if this feature is included. We highly advise that you get a lifetime warranty, since it covers the seal along with the door in the case of a flow. Replacement seals will cost you. In addition, it's crucial that you take great attention of the walk-in bath door when the bath isn't in use to prevent early failure of the seal. Wiping down the door seal and door jamb after every use can maintain the integrity of the water seal. Follow the care as well as maintenance instructions.

Question 11

11) Can I make one of these myself?

Yes, but most individuals don't start from scratch, they start with a tub conversion kit. There are instructions available on how to convert your existing bathtub into a walk in tub. We advise that you simply know just how to make use of the tools that are proper so that you don't end up with a non-working tub. There are businesses that understand the way to turn your handicap that is tub more and your house accessible for less of an investment than alternatives. As New Jersey installers, we know just how to direct you in the proper direction, so please ask us for a consultation so we are able to assist you in making your home match your present wants, especially if you have recently become disabled or are supplying an aged person care-giving in their home or your house.

Question 12

12) Will a tub like this add to my Lakewood home’s resale value?

In case you reside in a Lakewood retirement community, installing a walk-in bath may increase the value of your home. Otherwise, it likely will not increase the value of your home. Since modifications to your toilet don't usually raise the value of your house, price could qualify for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in New Jersey if the main goal of the improvements is to accommodate a dwelling to the disability of the taxpayer, their partner or dependent living there.
