[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3522713, member: 43724"] My washer hookups are on the cold intake and hot output lines of my hot water tank, which is in a closet off the garage. Somehow on Saturday I mistakenly opened the garage door while bringing in the last of groceries and the garage stayed open all night long. We had water dripping in two sinks but it was just the cold water line. So, the water lines to the hot water tank froze up. Called a plumber when we realized this at 8 am. While waiting I place a space heater by the water pipes in the laundry room (we don't have a washer and dryer right now). At 1:30ish the plumber shows up and right as he walked in the door the open hot water tap in the tub started pouring water. Tested all the faucets and had hot water pressure, and surprisingly had warm water. Worked out though, we are getting the water tank replaced (its 15+ years old) and the washer hookups moved (someone moved them directly over the 220 for the dryer, not safe, which is why no washer and dryer right now) for a good price. Was going to today until the plumber and I decided to wait til next monday when it will be a balmy 50 degrees. [/QUOTE]
