When it comes to a bathroom remodel, we all want to make sure our bathroom is left just as we envision it. However, there are some bathroom trends that may cause more harm than good, especially when it comes to your plumbing! Unsure of what bathroom trends you may want to steer clear of? Here are a few!

Wall Mounted Faucets

Though wall mounted faucets may seem like the perfect addition to your bathroom, you might want to rethink this choice! All plumbing pipes connected to these faucets are usually behind walls that have been tiled over, but why is this bad? If there are any leaks in your plumbing, the fact that the pipes are well-hidden behind these walls means that any leaks will stay hidden as well, causing big trouble for your plumbing!

Open Showers

Showers without doors can seem to add a touch of luxury and flair to any bathroom. However, this design choice can actually lead any shower to turn into a cold one because the lack of shower curtain makes it easier for drafts to make their way to you! Also, an open shower makes it easier for water to drip out all over your bathroom floor, causing a mess and waste of water.

Choosing Cabinets That Don’t Fit Your Plumbing

Caught in the middle of a remodeling rush, you may find yourself making decisions that may not take your plumbing into consideration. Choosing any cabinet is one of them! Though it may seem like any cabinets will work for your bathroom, and you may have already set your sights on some, it is crucial you note whether your plumbing will fit within these cabinets. Some plumbing cannot fit into certain cabinet layouts, which may force you to get re-plumbing that is costly. If you are looking for bathroom trends that fit in your budget, always take your plumbing into consideration!

Changing Bathroom Fixtures

Changing your bathroom fixtures can actually affect your plumbing in a good way! This is because there are now many eco-friendly bathroom fixtures, such as water-efficient showerheads and low-flow toilets, that use less water and allow your plumbing to work just as or more efficiently! If you are completing a more eco-conscious bathroom remodel, changing your bathroom fixtures may be just what your bathroom (and plumbing) needs!

Even a newly remodeled bathroom may need plumbing services done, and soon!  Keeping your plumbing maintained and serviced when it needs repairs is key to making sure your bathroom does not suffer any sudden unexpected issues. Hiring a professional plumber will give you so much peace of mind.
