Make worrying about daily bathing a thing of yesteryear, and let our Spokane experts get the suitable gear in your own bathroom, for a much simpler and safer life.

Question 1

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

You may require a house alteration license from the Spokane, WA building department to put in a tub, particularly when walls have to be eliminated to fit your bathroom plans. Most importantly, you didn't get one AND and if you needed a permit your house suffers from damage from the installed walkin bath, your losses may not be covered by your homeowner's insurance. If you plan on ever selling your Spokane home, there are plenty of buyer beware messages out there which will steer potential buyers from your house since it does influence homeowner's insurance if there have been any advancements without licenses. Buyers see their homeowners insurance as well as the permits as protections on their investments in homes.

Question 2

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

Yes. There are walk in bathtub installments that provide you with a large standing area for stand-up showers. You can shower standing up or sitting down. Be sure to get the proper dimensions for the walk in tub in order that you don't feel cramped during a stand up shower. Additionally, if you want to keep your standing shower, because if your faucet isn't directly against a wall, it's significantly more difficult to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind is always to ask about the faucet location.

Question 3

3) About how long does the installation process take with your Spokane installers?

Once the tub arrives, an installation requires between one and three days of work in Spokane. It certainly depends upon the scope of the job. You must let us know if there is a crucial deadline involving a household member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from Washington rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 4

In case your disability was due to a vehicle or work accident, check together with the appropriate insurance carrier to see if house modifications resulting from your WA handicap are insured. Claims that contain Spokane home alterations are admissible in insurance resolutions. Someone have a medical condition which meets their definition of handicap and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they have worked in work that was covered by Social Security. Benefits could be covered if you're on disability or injured. Since SSI is a needs-based program plus 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 leads to an occupational goal and can be utilized to cover home alterations through an SSI savings strategy. In case you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual programs that may allow you to deflect some of the price. Contact the VA and ask for VA form 26-4555 to make an application for SHA or SAH grant. For advice on all VA benefits in Washington call 1-800-827-1000.
