Hey there.
So we have an old home (1902) that is 3 stories.
We currently have a tenant in our ground floor apartment. She just informed me that she is unable to get the hot water to come out of the bathroom sink tap.
She could let it run and run and it will not get hot at the sink tap.
Her kitchen sink tap works fine.
Our kitchen sink tap works fine.
Our 3rd floor bathroom sink gets hot pretty quickly but
our 2nd floor bathroom sink tap has the same problem that out tenant does...
Our 2nd floor bathroom sink hot water has NEVER gotten hot (unless I take a shower in there beforehand) and we've just learned to live with it, since our primary bathroom is on the 3rd floor...
Anyway, this is a new problem ( we think) for our ground floor bathroom sink as our previous two tenants never mentioned it.

We have a tank (blech) water heater 80 gal on the ground level of the house, so her bathroom is actually the closest to the source of hot water.

We can't figure this out.

Any ideas oh plumbing gifted folks out there? Thanks!

It could be a variety of things. It could be the age of the home, and maybe it wasn't plumbed to have hot water. Or it could have just been connected wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if it was plumbed in a loop so even though her's may be the closet it could be the last on the feed. Without having access to the pipes, it would be very hard to fix, but if you had access you would be able to tell quickly.

It's a way too short explanation. The case needs to be elaborated in Million world. It's a whole new world in plumbing. It could be many reasons & suggestions. Hope, you understood my point. Drop detailed case explanation in PM.

Why not, you try something out of the situation using some makita tools combination. My point, tools manual get detailed info, they may help you.

Share blueprints. Really hard to tell or advice at this stand point. Picture is still blurred. Yeah, don't want to mislead you. Need to know, what's the exact situation in there.

Repair your water system because this is very old, i hope you always involve lots of problems in hot water or other, i think if you change your old connection then you feel better and run again 100 years other wise you also involve little problems.
