    Hot water not coming out
    OK whenever I washed clothes water would go all over the floor there was a drain clogged so my husband took some pipes apart and cleaned them out now after everything was put back together only cold water will come out of any of the faucets if you turn the hot water on nothing comes out in any of the faucets in the house but they both worked before he did this could someone please tell me what could be wrong? Thanks

    Yes! When hubby worked on the pipes he desturbed some minerals built up in the pipes and now they're clogging up the hot water inlet ports of the cartridges in your faucets. The solution would be to Shut off the hot water, open up each valve affected, check and clean the inlet ports on each cartridge and afterwards to flush out the hot water line. You might wish to call in outside help for this. Good luck, tom
