What Somerset homeowners should know about walk-in tubs
Census estimates put the median build year in Somerset at 1977; about 19% of homes were built before 1950. Kitchens and bathrooms from this era often keep their original layout and plumbing. Decide early whether you want to move fixtures, since that changes the permit and the scope. 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.
The U.S. Department of Energy places Pulaski County in climate zone 4A (mixed, humid). In a damp climate, a bathroom exhaust fan that vents outside (not into the attic) helps prevent mold.
Only about 49% of occupied homes in Somerset are lived in by their owners, so many residents rent. Renters should check with the property owner or manager before hiring anyone for a walk-in tub installation.
