my house is 65 years old and in the foor drain i can see a hole with a float in it. i can see a tile drain off to the side in the same drain. it looks like water(when it rains) comes from the side drain into the hole with float in it, but i can't really tell. i guess the hole with the float is the sump, but again i don't know.

My heater has not been putting out any warm haet at all for 12 days. Someone said that it was probably out of freon. I thought thats what you needed to run the airconditioner in the summer. Does anyone know if freon has anything to do with the heat also? This is in my house.

When we wash clothes, there is water all over the floor. I initially thought it was the wash machine but the technician said it was not the machine, it's the drain on the floor getting backed up. So I went and bought a bottle of drain unclogger. My question is, should I pour it into the pipe where the hose coming from the wash machine is going into, or should I pour it directly into the drain on the floor?

We have an older house, circa late 60's, and I just discover today that behind some loose tiles in one of our tub/showers that there is dry rot in the wall. The plaster/dry wall is crumbling, but it appears the studs are in good shape. Does anyone know of a good web site that might show how to replace the wall? I have only very basic carpentry skills, but I think I might be able to handle it given enough information.

I have an Ideal Mexico Super 2 floor standing gas boiler and my pump seems to be working fine. The radiators have been curved to fit the bay windows but have been damaged in any way in the curving process. They heat up at the top and sides only but the middle portion of both radiators is cool, never gets hot. All other radiators in the house are old double radiators that get piping hot, it's only these 2 that won't heat up. What seems to be the problem here and what are my options to solve this problem?

The other night, my heat pump (the outside unit) started to work intermittently. The blower fan in the furnace works fine, and so do the heat strips.

When the outside unit works, it works great. But it will run for two cycles, and then it won't turn on a third time. The furnace fan turns on every time. If I turn the thermostat off for a couple of hours and turn it back on, the outside unit works again. But after a couple of cycles, it quits again.

My Rheen furnace ignitor glows red, the gas is lit & is blown into the heating duct by the fan for about 3 seconds. Then the ignitor stops glowing red & the gas stops flowing. The furnace goes through this cycle 3 times, then stops altogether. WHY?

This is a bathroom and the cold water is good but there is no hot water. When I turn on the shower in this room, it increases the pressure of the water coming out of the tap, but it is cold, not hot.. The shower only has cold as well. This home was built in 92 and my other rooms have hot and cold. Should I call the plumber now?

I'm in the middle of a bathroom re-do. My last piece of sheetrock is going to be behind a vanity. If the vanity were to completely hide the wall, then I wouldn't worry too much about this, but it's one of those fancy self standing things that women love so much (thanks Honey!)

Anyway, I want the sheetrock to lock attractive when I'm done. Somehow, I have to cut a 2" hole for the drain and .75" holes for the hot and cold lines. The hot and cold lines have handles on them which would require me to make a much larger hole than is needed to surround the pipes.

Is there a way to fill those wholes with mud or something to make em' look nice and clean?

Thanks y'all.

I was making tea on the stove but I accidentally turned the wrong burner on (I have an electric stove) and that burner had a metal pot on it and a plastic container touching the side. I smelled something burning so I went hunting for the problem when I realized my mistake. Now WHAT DO I DO?! I tried to take the pot off the burner but a mini fire almost started!! Then I tried adding water in to the pot from the teapot but it started sizzling so I freaked out and stoped. Now it is boiling a tablespoon worth of water. I can't reach my mom and I am so lost! WHAT SHOULD I DO!?

Do you have the scientific explanation??

The same thing can happen in some parts around the faucet, over the marble.

I have good ventilation from a window, does it help to reduce it or to expand it?
