I am an engineer and have done a fair amount of new wiring myself, I'm looking for help from professional. Is there a way to change from old two prong outlets to three prong (grounded) outlets? I'm trying to not rip out the walls and run new wiring. I've checked just grounding to the neutral (which I know is theoretically the same thing) and my tester reports bad ground. Unless someone knows an easier way I'll have to drill through the floor and connect to a copper water pipe. I'm trying to avoid this because were talking about 20 outlets or so.

Thanks

it has always had a very slow drip out of what appears to be a drain spout. but over the past few weeks it has slowly increased to a steady dribble of water. the water heater is approx 12 years old.

Have a 5 yr old vokera combi boiler situated in cellar of a 3 storey house with some original 4 inch lead pipes. The pressure is always very low - about 0.5 on the dial. Get heating ok (although rads are noisy - a low hiss) and hw after about 45 secs. Should I be worried about the low pressure even though hw and heating are generally ok? Also one radiator doesn't work. Whilst fitting a new TRV, the plumbers discovered a blockage was preventing water flow as when they took rad off and opened up valve no water came out. They suggested the system needs power flushing (at a cost of some £500!!!). Could the low boiler pressure and this blockage be related? Is there a cheaper option than power flushing? Would really appreciate any help on this. I think possibly a combi boiler is innappropriate for the size of the house!

I have a hot water heater, not more than 7 years old, that runs on natural gas that is leaking a trickle of water from underneath, which spills out onto our cement floor of our basement. Does anyone know what this could possibly mean. When I called Roto Rooter this morning, their preliminary estimate was I needed a brand new one. Is anyone familiar with this?

I added a screened room to my mobile home. I also have vinyl windows. in the summer the sun beats down on the home almost all day Someone told me I could have insulation installed in the roof panels, and that i may even be able to do it myself. Right now it's impossible to enjoy my patio between 1-5pm because it so hot you can't breath. I'm in the Pasco, FL area - 34667

Appreciate any help you can give

my hubby and I disagree, he says the whole house (15 years old built by a prominent builder) was plumbed backwards. under all sinks the hot is on the right and the cold on the left. I say this is the standard he says the hot should be on the left.
