it happened again last night. does anyone has any ideas/thoughts?

weird thing happening lately. I've been losing just hot water pressure to the point that there is no hot water running but cold water will run. There will also be a low groaning coming from the pipes when the tap is open. The way I've been temporarily solving the situation is by shutting off...

The 1-1/4" runs below the basement floor. The 2" connects to the 4" stack about a foot above the basement floor. I actually suspect that the 1-1/4" drain connects to the storm drain. I know that one of the floor drains already connects to the storm drain. In this part of the city (Toronto...

New here and looking for some advice. My house is probably close to 100 yrs old and i need to replace the 4" cast iron stack... probably doing it myself. Dug up some of the basement floor and found where the clay? & cast iron pipe meet. Here is the connection... there are a couple more pics...
