Q: Why is there no cold water upstairs?

• <div><p>The likely culprit is an air lock somewhere in your pipes. This is especially true if the warm water upstairs is accompanied by a decline in water flow. Other causes of this issue include frozen pipes, leaks, damaged supply lines, and more. There&rsquo;s a simple DIY fix to try for air locks: Turn the hot water and cold water faucets on for a minute, then turn off the cold water and then the hot water. Repeat this process two or three times. </p></div>

Q: Why do some old houses have a toilet in the basement?

• <div><p>Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.</p><p>Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.</p></div>

Q: How do I identify a hose bib?

• <div><p>A hose bib is typically located on an exterior wall of the home, about 6 to 18 inches from the ground or on a deck floor. It will have a top handle that you use to turn the water supply on and off. It will also have a male hose thread, or MHT, on the outlet side, where you would connect a hose.</p></div>

Q: Can you use hose water to fill a hot tub?

• <div><p>You can and should use a hose to fill a hot tub. There shouldn&rsquo;t be anything special about the hose other than it shouldn&rsquo;t be damaged. Kinks or leaks could slow down the filling process. Attach the hose to the nearest spigot and get the water flowing. </p></div>

Q: How to find the closest shutoff valve?

• <div><p>Most gas stoves either have a shutoff valve inside the oven drawer compartment or behind the stove wall. Cooktop shutoff valves are usually inside the base cabinet, and wall ovens usually have a shutoff valve in the cabinet below or next to the unit. Construction regulations require installing a shutoff valve within six feet of the appliance. So, if you can&rsquo;t find the valve on the appliance, look around the connecting gas pipes within the six-foot radius.</p></div>
