Our St Cloud installers are prepared to make your bathroom safe by getting you the appropriate equipment in order to look after yourself.

Question 1

1) About how long does the installation process take with your St Cloud installers?

Once the tub arrives, an installment requires between one and three days of work in St Cloud. It surely depends upon the scope of the job. You must let us know whether there's a critical deadline involving a family member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from Minnesota rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 2

2) Do these tubs drain normally?

Yes. Sometimes, however, it's important to change the pipes depending on the positioning of the drains. Installers may have to add a fitting to the existing wastewater pipe for a walk in tub. Existing pipes may allow for slower drain times or quicker drain times.

Question 3

3) Is there a way to re-sell the tub once we are done with it?

You can re-sell locate or used walk in tubs being sold online. However, many folks typically want to make sure they are purchasing a walk in bath that personally fulfills their needs for the long term. They are not as inclined to choose a huge risk by paying the removal of their present tub as well as all of the costs related to shipping without a little more investment and assurance in the state along with quality of their purchase. There isn't really a big marketplace for plumbing fixtures that are used. Eventually, should you think you could try to resell your walk-in tub, the following buyer might want to be aware of whether the lifetime guarantee is extended to other owners as well or if they are going to need to cover the costs related to a door seal or other component damages that will occur with use.

Question 4

4) Is there a way to get Jacuzzi jets in my tub?

Yes. Be careful of the amount of air and water that comes out of the jets to ensure it is the proper number that will soothe pains and your sore muscles with a massage sensation. Jets can be positioned to target particular regions to provide for the best effects. Many St Cloud customers enjoy the therapeutic effect of having jets installed inside their walk-in bathtub for an extensive array of health conditions that benefit from the relaxation that is additional.

Question 5

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

Appropriate setup and initial testing should provide you with a leak proof experience, yet there are episodes where they experienced escapes that customers report. Under suitable circumstances, the weight of the water should compress the door seal making it completely leak proof. Some units contain another drain below the entry door to help prevent leaks in the event the door does leak. If this attribute is included ask. 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. Some people replace the door seal on a walk-in bath themselves. Also, it's important to take great attention of the walk-in bath door when the bath isn't in use to prevent premature failure of the seal. Wiping down the door seal and door jamb after each use can keep the integrity of the water seal. Follow the care as well as maintenance instructions. Also, any modest group of debris or soil on the door seal or where the seal comes in contact with all the door jamb can lead to a minor escape through the door seal always wipe down the door seal.

Question 6

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

Yes. A walk-in bathtub is not generally shorter than an average bath tub, which comprises about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some manufacturers say that you just use exactly the same amount of water as a typical shower if a regular shower is 7 minutes and you use 7 gallons of water a minute. Many of the walk in tubs on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. In reality, many manufacturers advise that you've got a hot water tank that fits at least 50 gallons, even though some baths will function effectively if you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 7

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

Many upgraded homeowner's insurance policies protect against flooding from your pipes and appliances. Check with your St Cloud homeowner's insurance to make sure it'll cover you against this sort of damage. You might need a house alteration permit from the St Cloud, MN building department to set up a tub, especially if walls need to be eliminated to coordinate with your bathroom plans. Most importantly, in case you needed a license and you didn't get one AND your house suffers from damage from the installed walk-in bath, your homeowner's insurance may not cover your losses. Should you plan on selling your St Cloud dwelling, there are heaps of buyer beware messages out there that will direct prospective buyers from your home since it does influence homeowner's insurance if there have been any developments without licenses. Buyers see the licenses and their homeowners insurance as protections on their investments in houses.

Question 8

8) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Minnesota?

Medicare doesn't cover walk-in bathtub gear and installation prices in Minnesota, for the reason that they are dwelling alterations, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment doesn't include physical changes to a house, only medical gear and supplies that are used to help a patient in and out of bed or a chair, or use a shower or bath safer and simpler. Consumer Affairs suggests that you might want to contact Medicare to see if (for mobility security reasons) a walk in bathtub is justified to determine if the gear can be somewhat compensated. More times than not, they won't cover it. However, if you are qualified for Medicaid, the program in your state may offer you some financial assistance for a walk in tub. You may be eligible for a House and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for particular specialized medical equipment and availability modifications. In the event you are a receiver of Medicaid and Medicare, it's also wise to think about the Double-Eligible Specific Needs Strategy. This plan is a portion of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. Medicaid provides a whole list of waivers related to the elderly that we suggest that you review. Additionally, contact your St Cloud or Minnesota Area Agency on Aging (AAA) to investigate Medicaid Waivers and financial alternatives for long term care.

Question 9

9) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Minnesota?

Aetna does not cover walkin tubs under their plans that are traditional in Minnesota. Aetna doesn't insure walk in bathtubs under their HMO and health network plans either. They generally follow Medicare's standards for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the bathroom. If the member is bed- room or confined - confined some DMEs are considered medically necessary, instead of a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it is necessary for day-to-day activities and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living activity and considered crucial, Aetna lists toilet items that are incapable to transfer to and from a bathtub or considered medically necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated.

Question 10

10) About how much will one of these tubs cost to get installed?

The installation can really cost you around $1,500-$3,000 to be installed in St Cloud. Sometimes the expense of the installation and the unit is a better investment than paying for a caretaker.

Question 11

11) What sort of guarantees are there that these tubs won’t leak and damage my St Cloud house?

Consumer Affairs advocates that an owner that is initial purchase a lifetime warranty to give peace of mind to buyers about leaks. Additionally, ask if the lifetime warranty is extended to other owners as well. For Minnesota house setups, this will probably be included for a set amount of years.

Question 12

12) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in Minnesota?

In case your disability was a result of a car or work injury, check together with the right insurance insurance company to find out if house adjustments resulting from your MN handicap are insured. Claims that contain St Cloud home adjustments are not inadmissible in insurance resolutions. A person have a health condition that meets their definition of impairment and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they've worked in a job that was covered by Social Security. In the event you're on handicap or injured, benefits might be covered. 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 with a disability to achieve an occupational goal. The cash that is set aside under a PASS can be used for anything that results in an occupational goal and can be used to cover home alterations through an SSI savings plan. It's possible for you to learn more about PASS through your local Social Security Administration office or call toll free 800-772-1213. If you're a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual programs that might allow you to deflect a number of the cost. Contact the VA and ask for VA form 26-4555 to make an application for a SAH or SHA grant. For information on all VA benefits in Minnesota call 1 800 827 1000.
