Taking the steps to initiate a Denver bathroom remodel is exciting! Choosing to update old bathrooms can raise your home’s value. It also helps you customize the space specifically for your personal needs, no matter the size. However, every bathroom renovation project is different. Depending on the age or quality of the build of your home, you could run into various different issues. Many of these issues cannot be ignored due to financial reasons. When financially preparing for your remodel, here are a few common bathroom issues that you will absolutely need to fix for safety reasons.

1. Black Mold: Black mold is one of the most dangerous types of mold there is. This toxic mold can lead to many different types of respiratory issues, as well as several other conditions all over. Over time, those exposed can experience symptoms that are similar to allergies. Congestion, running nose, sore throat, sneezing and issues breathing are some of the common symptoms. The longer a person is exposed, the worse the symptoms can be. It can definitely create issues in the lungs, skin, reproductive or even digestive systems. Because this issue is so dangerous, it cannot be overlooked. If your remodeling company finds black mold, you will need to incorporate the fix in with your budget. This ensures everyone’s safety. Prices vary anywhere from a few hundred dollars to $5000. While frustrating, your health and safety is the top priority.
2. Plumbing Issues: Older homes may have older corroded pipes that are on the verge of failure. Or, in other cases, you may have a leaky faucet or running toilet that is a sign of a bigger issue. Also, there are some instances where sewer gas leaks leading to an awful smell that can carry throughout the home. If any of these issues or other plumbing problems arise, it is important to have them fixed. It can help avoid a large flood, which can lead to an even more costly fix.
3. Asbestos: Asbestos is another dangerous find in a bathroom remodel. This group of fibers minerals bundles together that was commonly used in construction in the 1800s and early 1900s. It was banned in the 1970s yet still is in some structures today. Exposure to asbestos can lead to many dangerous respiratory issues. Why?
