Every time (or at least recently) you descend into the basement of your home, you can’t help but ponder the convenience of having a bathroom in one of the currently underutilized recesses of the interior space. Hundreds of other Winnipeg households consider the same each month, and you’re all wise in doing so. The benefits of adding a bathroom to the basement of your Winnipeg home include the following:
- Occupant and guest convenience. There will be no more lineups for the family bathroom, nor do you have to run upstairs when in the basement doing laundry, et cetera.
- Creates a bathroom for guests to use exclusively, so as to not impede upon your own private bathroom/s upstairs.
- Offers an opportunity to create a more livable space in the basement for a family member (i.e. teenager) to take up residence in.
- Offers an opportunity to create a livable suite that can be placed on the long or short term rental market, especially if a separate entrance exists or can be added.
- Can significantly increase market value of a home.
Considering the benefits, you’re ready to move forward with a consultation. You can call Vulcan Construction right now at 204-201-3455 to schedule a home inspection and get a FREE quote on the project, or read ahead first from more information.
What to Know When You Want to Install a Bathroom in the Basement of Your Winnipeg Home (and why choose Vulcan Construction)
Full Bathroom or Half Bathroom in the Basement?
Consider what you need from the new bathroom. Do you really only require a functioning toilet and sink so that occupants don’t have to run up and down to the main level to use the restroom? Will the basement not be used as a separate living quarters? Would a shower generally go unused? Then you only require a half-bathroom.
What if you’re not entirely sure, do you have to wait to proceed? Not at all. Let us know that you want to install a half-bathroom today, but are open to adding a shower to a half bathroom in the basement in the future. We will build an amazing half-bathroom, while accounting for the potential eventuality of adding a shower in a year or two (or more) from now. Our installers will consider electrical, plumbing, ventilation, and spacial design when doing so.
Cost to Add a Bathroom to Basement
Logically, the cost of installing a new bathroom to your basement is dictated by what we asked above (full or half bathroom) in addition to a variety of other factors. These factors generally include the following:
- Size and complexity of layout.
- Existing vs new plumbing requirements.
- Whether or not the basement is below the main sewer line, which (if so) would require a pump to move wastewater.
- Whether or not the breaking-up of a concrete floor is required to install plumbing or drains.
- Homeowner desires for budget-friendly or premium toilets, sinks, lighting, and shower hardware.
- Whether or not tiled or prefabricated shower surrounds are desired by the homeowner.
- Homeowner desires regarding flooring, paint, and other decorative elements.
- Whether or not extra waterproofing is required.
- Whether or not radon testing and mitigation is required.
- Whether or not the City of Winnipeg imposes local regulations that dictate the need for permits and inspections.
Ultimately, it’s a disservice for any home renovation contractor to provide an estimate on adding a bathroom to a basement without visiting your home for an inspection, or at the very least discussing the project with you on the phone beforehand.
