What Bath homeowners should know about bathroom remodeling
Census estimates put the median build year in Bath at 1957; about 41% of homes were built before 1950. Opening walls in older homes can reveal outdated plumbing, wiring or rot. Ask each company how it handles surprises and get that in writing. Federal EPA rules require firms that disturb painted surfaces in homes built before 1978 to follow lead-safe work practices. Ask whether the company is EPA lead-safe certified.
Steuben County is in IECC climate zone 5A, a cool, humid climate, on the U.S. Department of Energy's county map. In a damp climate, a bathroom exhaust fan that vents outside (not into the attic) helps prevent mold. Cold winters make exterior walls matter. If walls are opened, ask whether insulation will be added before they are closed.
