Hello Forum!!
I am having a problem. I rent a not-so-well-built house that was constructed in the 50s. Our shower drain was not draining the water out (later found out there was literally no drain pipe and it was just flowing into the ground...like I said, not so well built...) so we had to have our bathroom completely remodeled. Prior to the remodel, the shower water always got extremely hot, which I loved. I did not mention the water temperature to the plumbers, because I didn't want it changed. After the remodel, the shower water got warm (not hot) for about five minutes and then immediately turned ice cold. I determined the problem was not with the water heater, because it was turned all the way to hot, and my kitchen and bathroom sinks still ran very hot for long periods of time. How do I fix my shower so that the water is hot? Please help!! I live in Ohio and cold showers are a fate worse than death.
