hot water system
Hot Water System FAQ:


I have two radiators in the house, one is working and the other is not. I bled both and it improved the one that is working but the other it had no effect. After the system was on for awhile I went in to the basement and I found that the pipe going from the furnace to the second radiator cooled down about half way down the pipe, it never even reaches the radiator. If fact, it’s short by about 10 feet. The pipes that lead to and from the radiator to the furnace are both hot.

What can I do to fix the second radiator?

Okay, just in the kitchen of my house i have low hot water pressure, and the hot water knob also has a small dripping problem. all other hot water pressure in the house is fine. this just recently started happening when we had to have the basement snaked because of a clog in the pipes to the sewer system. any ways i have no idea how to fix this, my boyfriend and i tried to look in the basement to see how to fix it but we cant find anything. can any one help out?
