Hi there,
I have lived in a basement apartment for a year and one month now. My landlord and his family live above us. When we moved in, there were no problems with the washroom.
A year later, all of a sudden, we have our shower going hot and cold on us. It seems to waver from the temperature we set it at (usually it runs colder), sometimes. It also happens when they are not awake, so I don't think it's particularly an issue of them running water the same time as us, although I think that is happening too. This problem happened simultaneously when the water pressure in our (washroom) sink going to almost nothing. Also, sometimes when we turn on the cold water in washroom sink we get scalding hot water, especially during flushing.
Because of the randomality of the issue, I can't get the shower to do its thing when the landlord is looking at it and he is refusing to have anyone come look at it because he says "his does it too". The issue is this: We didn't have any problems for a year. Why would we be having them now? Do the sink pressure and shower temperature problems have something to do with each other?
I am really frustrated with these problems and my landlord's attitude towards them. I don't think it's fair to have to deal with this issue as it was not this way when we moved in. Please help me.
Thanks so much in advance.
Update: Pressure in sink was fixed by new faucet with 2 handles, but hot water continues to go to scalding immediately.
