Which Plumbing Products Work?

Being able to take a hot shower after a long day at work is something that many people truly enjoy. If you want to make your showers even more relaxing, consider having an overhead rain shower head installed in your bathroom. The shower head will allow water to fall from the ceiling and cascade over your body so that your entire body gets wet at the same time. When you take a shower with a traditional shower head, the portion of your body that is facing away from the shower head can sometimes become cold from the lack of warm water. The following guide walks you through a few things you need to expect when having an overhead rain shower head installed.

The Right Shower Head Needs to Be Chosen

The first thing you need to do is you need to choose the right rain shower head. The heads are available in many different shapes and sizes. If you want to be sure that your entire body can be covered in the warm water during the entire shower, you may want to choose a wide, rectangular shower head. This will ensure that ample water cascades evenly over your body at all times.

Holes Will Be Cut in Your Drywall and Tile

If you have tile around the edges of your shower, some portions of the tile will be removed from the wall to allow the plumber to gain access to the areas behind the wall that he or she will need to access. Likewise, your drywall on the wall and ceiling will also be cut and removed in order for the plumber to install the new shower head. Most plumbers do not repair drywall after it is removed, so you will need to hire a drywall contractor to handle any repairs after the installation is complete.

New Piping Will Need to be Added

For the new shower head to be installed, new piping will need to be added to the shower to allow water to get to the new shower head. Your old shower head will be removed and the plumber will then route new piping from the pipe that the old where head was attached to. This will allow you to get the water supply you need for your new shower head with as little damage to your bathroom as possible.

After everything has been installed and the wall and ceiling has been repaired, you will be ready to start enjoying your shower head. The warm water will help you release all of the worries of the day and relax in a truly enjoyable way. For more information, contact local professionals like Bishop Plumbing, Heating and Cooling.
