Portland Oregon plumber teaches bathroom remodeling

Bathroom Remodeling Contractor Portland Oregon

Bathroom plumbing and remodeling importance cannot be over-emphasized. You'll agree with me that we are living in an era where unwinding at home has become a trend for many people. Who doesn't like to spend time in the comfort of their homes, anyway? Home relaxation is a great way to unwind after a busy and or stressful daily activity. Now, wouldn't it be worth it to add some life to that bathroom which has evolved from being just a place to wash into a haven of relaxation and comfort?

Planning Your Bathroom Remodeling

If you have been following my plumbing help and tutorials, you would know already that all plumbing starts with having a structured plan. There is a lot to consider when planning your next bathroom plumbing. First is your finance. The truth is - you can actually redesign your bathroom with as low as $100. Strange as this may seem but with a proper planning, you can achieve a new restored look in your bathroom without having to spend a fortune.

Another factor to consider is space - Choosing your bathtub, shower and other remodeling fixtures depends solely on the space you have on ground. You don't want to stuck fixtures in a limited space and then struggle to navigate in your bathroom - Not good. Choose your plumbing equipments and fixtures according to size of your bathroom. Get advice from your plumber or bathroom remodeling contractor if you are not sure what to choose. Family size is another point to consider when making your remodeling decision. Are you a homeowner who is just starting out life or do you have a large family. You don't want to choose a high bathtub in your very young kids' bathroom. Have your family at the back of your mind when you discuss your next remodeling project with your plumbing contractor or when you go out to shop for plumbing fixtures.

Bathroom Plumbing Trend -  Style                                                                                    Portland Oregon Bathroom Plumbing Plumber

Now you are reading this article because you probably are tired of the old look of your bathroom or perhaps because you want to flow with the time and have a home improvement that can be best described as trendy. In any case, style plays an important role in choosing fixtures for your bathroom plumbing and remodeling. Starting from lighting, to patterns and colors, a right choice of these and other combination of fixtures can transform your bathroom to that "paradise" you so desire. You can't go wrong with freestanding bathtubs as this is top on the list of modern bathroom equipments. So look out for those when you go shopping for a new look in your home. Showers with lots of jets, huge shower heads on horizontal arms and double showers are also top on the trending plumbing fixtures. No matter the choice you make, always look out for showers with high water-efficiency rating.

Choosing Your Color

We can't wrap up our bathroom remodel style without mentioning color. Choosing your color depends solely on your personality and mood. I would choose bright colors, though, because bright colors light up my mood and i find deep relaxation in my bathroom. Home sweet home.

Plumbing is not only a skill but also an art. Top plumbers are distinguished by both their skills and ability to create a masterpiece out of every work. This said, you will want to get professional advice from a trained plumber or contractor before you embark on your next bathroom plumbing and remodeling project.

Question: Dangers of Methane | Hydrogen Sulfide Gas | Sewer Gas

Question

Methane and Hydrogen Sulfide Gases

My daughter lives in Mexico. She has a very strong smell in all 3 of the bathrooms. The sink drains were installed upside-down and there is no seal on the toilets. This smell is making her whole family very sick. How dangerous is this, and how can she determine how bad it actually is? Limited resources in Mexico. I am concerned for their safety. Can you give me some more info. Her husband needs to be convinced on concerns for health. They have 5 little kids in the house.
Thank You

Answer

Before I even start to answer this question, I advice that your daughter call a certified plumber/professional sewer company or contact her local government over there for recommendations of certified companies to help them fix the sewer gas odor you described.

Before they try to open the sewer lid, the worker/plumber/sewer contractor should be aware or made to be aware that sewer manholes or any enclosed space within the sewer system contain invisible life threatening dangers such as Hydrogen sulfide gas, explosive gases and absence of oxygen.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a highly poisonous and inflammable gas which occurs naturally in natural gas, volcanic gases, crude petroleum and other natural occurrences. It is also produced by the bacterial breakdown of waste materials usually found in waste treatment plants, sewer systems, swamps. Hydrogen sulfide gas has a foul odor of rotten eggs similar to what you described in your question "very strong smell in all 3 of the bathrooms". For the purpose of this question, I will base my answers on sewer gas (Hydrogen sulfide produced by the break down of waste materials in sewer systems/waste management systems) This is how Hydrogen sulfide is produced in sewer systems/waste management systems: When microorganisms decompose waste materials in the sewer system/waste management system, this is done in the absence of oxygen and the resulting gas is Hydrogen sulfide (sewer gas)...
