Housing prices are rising and many friends are choosing to renovate old houses or buy used houses for decoration. While this can save a lot of money, you should be aware that there are many structures in an old house that are very different from a new house. So, what details should you pay attention to when renovating an old house?

One hidden project

When repairing old houses, it is necessary to change water and electricity. The original finishes are old and there may be a possibility of water leakage, so before changing water and electricity, it is necessary to conduct a closed water test in kitchen and in bathroom.

Secondly, dismantling and modification of structure

The layout of old houses is often not very successful, so structural changes will be carried out during renovation. If you remove load-bearing wall for expansion, there will be serious hidden dangers. Therefore, structure cannot be dismantled at will, all the more so it is impossible to dismantle load-bearing walls.

Third, too few sockets

Some friends just want to make repairs, but after they move they find that there are too few outlets reserved, and often not enough. And now, when household appliances are becoming more and more, demand for sockets will also increase. Therefore, before decorating, it is necessary to reserve more outlets for future.

Four, bathroom drain

Most toilets in old houses have a side drain, so ground surface is often higher than in other rooms. After changing it, it will affect structure of floor in entire area and even create inconvenience for inhabitants of lower floor. Therefore, try not to change toilet drain at will.

Five, doors and windows need repair

The doors and windows of old houses are seriously aging. If they are wooden doors and windows, they will peel and fall off. In this case, you only need to apply a film of paint to the surface. If corrosion is severe, doors and windows must be replaced.
