Bathroom Expansion Possible for Older Homes
A short guide says many older homes have room to add or improve baths without moving. Options include adding a second bath on a floor with one, using space at hallway ends or in large closets, basements or attics, and installing showers where needed. Compartmentizing can let two or three people use a bathroom simultaneously with privacy, lowering traffic and adding home value. Consult a reputable plumbing contractor to plan installation.
