Hi all,
Here's an odd one hopefully someone can help with.
I have a customer that has hot steamy water coming from their kitchen cold tap. The tap is fed directly from the incoming main which enters the house under her back door. The kitchen floor is hot along the run of the water main (about 0.5m) also the outside steps upto the the back door and about 3m of the driveway again along the pipe run. The pipe is galvanized steel from under the sink along to the 3m point in the driveway from which plastic takes over out into the street.
If you run the cold tap for about 2mins the water goes cold, wait 10mins and run again and you have 2mins of hot water again.There are no other pipes/cables anywhere near the run of the main. This occurs even when the electricity is turned off to the property to rule out a fault.
Any ideas ?
