WEEKLY TIP: Modern Bathrooms and Old Plumbing
If you are getting ready to modernize an old bathroom with new fixtures, a toilet, and luxury bathroom furniture, take a look at your old plumbing first to see if you can make a few upgrades to protect your investment.
Examine the walls and flooring around all fixtures, stop valves, and fittings to make sure there are no leaks which need repairing. If you don?t have shut-off valves installed, this is the perfect time to fix that problem. Not having a shut-off valve means turning off the water for the whole house to make plumbing repairs!
Another overlooked upgrade to old plumbing systems is the installation of a pressure balancing valve in your bathroom plumbing system. Installed in the hot and/or cold water supply lines to your shower, the pressure balancing valve prevents that scalding hot or freezing cold burst of water in the shower when a toilet is flushed or another faucet is used elsewhere. It may not be a luxury bathroom design, but a scald-free shower is definitely an improvement that should be found in all modern bathrooms.
