7 Signs Your Bathroom is Frighteningly Out of Date

Your bathroom sees it all, does it all, and takes a lot of abuse.Over time, it’s normal for the constant exposure to water and humidity to wear it down. Unfortunately, it’s also normal for your bathroom to be ignored. But while it may not be the most exciting room to remodel, it is crucial that it not be overlooked. Neglecting old fixtures and seemingly minor issues can result in serious long-term issues—not just for your home but for your health.


Here are seven telltale signs that your bathroom is in need of some TLC:


Sign #1: Your toilet hasn’t been replaced since George W. was in office


The Energy Policy Act of 1992 mandates that new residential toilets use no more than 1.6 gallons of water per flush. If your toilet pre-dates the Bush Administration, you’re likely wasting up to three gallons per use—increasing your water bill and negatively impacting the environment.


Sign #2: It’s got drips, leaks, or runs


If your sink drips, your tub and shower leak, or your toilet runs, it’s definitely time to show your bathroom some care. Each year, leaks account for roughly 1 trillion gallons of wasted water nationwide. The personal impact can be significant, too. Leaks can:


  • unnecessarily increase your water bill.

  • contribute to mold and mildew, which are hazards to both your health and your wallet.

  • cause structural damage to walls and floors immediately around the fixture. Moreover, that water can seep into other areas of your home.

  • shorten the lifespan of fixtures by putting unnecessary stress on gaskets and washers.


Sign #3: The vanity overfloweth


Outdated bathrooms tend to have a serious lack of storage space. If you’re weary of piles and clutter, adding new cabinets and shelves can make a lasting difference. And if you’re constantly bumping into your partner as you’re trying to get ready in the morning, adding a second sink could be in order.


Sign #4: The toilet is unsteady


There are few things more unnerving than sitting on a wobbly toilet. It’s possible that simply tightening a few bolts will solve this problem. However, it could be that you have a leak that’s causing vulnerability in the floor where the toilet is mounted.


Sign #5: You’ve had a slip or fall


Outdated style in a bathroom is a mild inconvenience. Slippery surfaces are another matter entirely. Each year, more than 200,000 people suffer an emergency-room-worthy injury in the bathroom—more than one-third of them in the bathtub or shower. If your mobility has decreased and you’re having difficulty safely navigating your bathroom, consider these solutions:


  • slip-resistant technology

  • stable grab bars and shower seats

  • practical, attractive walk-in tubs

  • low-threshold shower bases


Sign #6: You’re nearly out of elbow grease


If cleaning your bathroom every week requires bleach and a toothbrush, it may be time to upgrade for easier maintenance. Modern products and materials are more resistant to culprits like mold and mildew and are made to withstand the constant stream of water and always-on humidity of your bathroom. 


Sign #7: Your bathroom’s design falls somewhere between “blah” and “ewww”


Whether you’re dealing with pink tile, 70s wallpaper, or deep pile carpet (who thought that was a good idea?), an out-of-style bathroom is an eyesore. And when we don’t especially like the look and feel of a room, we tend to neglect it. That lack of attention can result in some of the other issues we’ve mentioned above.


If you’ve nodded your head at more than one of these seven signs, it may be time to consider an update. A complete bathroom remodel can take care of all of these issues, giving you a fresh look, more storage space, additional safety features, and upgraded fixtures.

3 Facts About Water Damage

Dealing with water damage is every homeowner's nightmare. Questions about what to do, what will be covered by insurance, and what possessions to save first will start ‘flooding’ in.  When a pipe bursts or a  basement floods, life is on hold until your home is dried and secured – and that’s not always an easy task. Here are three facts about water damage that will help you secure your home and respond properly to a potential disaster: 1.    The Type of Water is Important Generally speaking, there are three types of water that invade homes: rainwater, fresh water, and sewage. Depending on the type of water in your home, you may need to approach any contact or cleanup efforts differently. Sewage can contain harmful bacteria and make you violently ill. Fortunately, telling the difference is often easy, as it will typically smell just as terrible as you would expect. If you think that you are dealing with sewage, a professional water damage cleanup company will have the p...

Is There A Connection Between Radon and Mold?

Radon and mold in homes both pose health dangers. Long-term radon exposure can increase your risk of lung cancer. On the other hand, mold can produce mycotoxins, a toxic chemical that can cause disease and, worse, death. As a homeowner, it is essential to keep your home safe from mold and cancer-causing gas. Since both radon and mold can appear indoors and pose health risks, you are probably wondering if there is a connection between them. Read on to find out the answer. Radon and Mold: What Dangers Do They Bring? Radon is a naturally occurring gas that can enter through the cracks in your home. Although radon exposure cannot cause death right away, it damages your lung cells as time goes by. Since radon fluctuates, it is challenging to know when the radon level is high. As such, you need to monitor the level of the gas through long-term radon testing. But what if no actions are taken? Suppose your home has high radon levels, and you didn’t install radon mitigation; radon will stay in ...

Loosen Up a Bit: How to Select Bathroom Countertops

When you select kitchen countertops, you need to strongly consider their durability and requirements for maintenance. That's because kitchen countertops often take a pretty heavy beating, what with all the chopping, rolling, mixing, and stacking that takes place on top of them.  The bathroom, however, is a much less intense place. Your bathroom countertops aren't at risk in quite the same way, and this means you can relax a bit and have fun when it comes to choosing a bathroom countertop.  So what do you need to consider in a bathroom countertop? Function While the kitchen countertop is where you spend most of your food prep time, the bathroom countertop's function is generally to hold items. It's the rare bathroom that requires pounding, dicing, slicing, or chopping atop a bathroom countertop. When it comes to functionality in the bathroom, your biggest concern will probably be the size of your countertop. Does it give you enough space to hold your toiletries while you...
