Don’t Ignore your Bathroom(s).

These are some of the most visited rooms in our home, but we tend NOT to pay as much attention to them as, say our kitchen, living room, or family room.  Maybe it is time to pay some mind to these frequently used portions of your castle.  You can devote as much money as you want toward remodeling, just make sure that it is done right the first time!

Here is a partial checklist to follow –

1.  Leave the plumbing where it is already located.

2.  Look for flooring alternatives.

3.  Consider putting in open shelves.

4.  Go to the light…pay attention to the lighting.

5.  Make sure the paint keeps the area bright and inviting.

Installing a Fiberglass Tub and Shower.

This is a great project for winter.  Imagine the hours of comfort and joy that you will derive from a brand-new shower and luxurious tub!  Hopefully, this is the year that you have decided to remodel your bathroom.  You certainly spend enough time in there.  Why not enjoy the experience to the fullest?

Here are some installation tips –

1.  In most cases, replace the shower valve while the wall framing is still exposed.

2.  Attach the overflow pipe to the tub prior to the installation.

3.  Apply putty to the threaded portion of the strainer.

4.  Install the trip lever from inside the tub.

5.  Very carefully set the tub into place against the wall studs.

Out with the Old…In with the New.

It is a typical New Year’s mantra.  You have hopes and dreams for 2018.  Some are personal, while others tend to be more practical.  In that latter category lies a new sink, bathtub, or toilet.  It may be a modest goal, but it will instantly do two things…enhance the quality of your family’s life and increase your home’s value.  That’s not a bad combination!

How old is your home?  How long have you lived in it?  Has your family grown over the years?  These are always considerations when it comes time to consider new fixtures.  A new sink or tub may require a bit of planning and expertise, so please DO NOT try to tackle this project by yourself lest you end up knee deep in water!

Your plan for new bathroom fixtures starts with Shawn Allen of Allen Plumbing.  For more than four decades Shawn has repaired and replaced plumbing fixtures throughout the Snohomish and Seattle area.  Make a New Year’s resolution to invite him into your home for an estimate of your project by calling him at (425) 367-4744.

Proper Sewer Inspection.

Do you want to crawl around in there?  It didn’t think so.  The truth is nobody does.  Everyone and everything in your home comes to a stop when the sewer clogs up.  Back in a day there was only one way to troubleshoot the problem.  That was put on your waders and get down and dirty.  That is obviously not the way to go these days.

With video camera inspection, a professional sewer system cleaner will pinpoint the trouble spots without anybody going down there.  You see, there are several different scenarios that could be present such as pipes that are draining at an unusually slow pace.  Sometimes a tree root is the culprit and needs to be removed.

When you hire Shawn Allen he will give you all of the details and a very fair estimate to repair the problem.  The residents of the Snohomish, WA area have counted on Shawn Allen to do ALL of their sewer inspections and plumbing for well over 30 years.  Believe me, Shawn has been up to his knees in it plenty of times.  As always…It starts with a phone call to (425) 367-4744.

Installing a Complete Plumbing System.

If you are starting from scratch make sure that you have a master plumber on the job.  Ask your contractor and get his opinion.  Then make sure he or you hire the right person.  Perhaps it starts with installing toilets.  You better have someone who knows the city sewer lines and how to properly connect your new toilet to the entire system.

If you have a septic tank installed now you can add sewer lines from your sinks and toilets to the septic tank.  When that job is done you need to think “down the road” because that septic tank will fill up over time leaving a malodorous odor in the neighborhood.  Now you would prefer that the guy who originally installed the plumbing can also clean the septic system.

For the last 35 years that guy in Snohomish, Washington has been and continues to be Shawn Allen.  Residents of the Snohomish, WA area have counted on Shawn Allen to do ALL of their plumbing from start to finish.  Shawn is a master plumber who is our area’s complete plumbing professional.  Call Shawn right away.  As always…It starts with a phone call to (425) 367-4744.
