Plumbers have been working the last two days to assess the plumbing. On Thursday they were able to fix all the leaks in the basement, install shutoff valves to the upstairs plumbing, and pressurize the basement system. On Friday they installed a new toilet in the basement, repaired water service to utility sink, and tested the upstairs plumbing. Only seems to be one leak in the upstairs plumbing… We have decided to keep water off to the upper part of the house – this way we only have to heat the basement, and can have access to a toilet and running water.
We also had two electricians through today. It appears the entire house (except the furnace, water heater, and defunct air conditioner) are still serviced by original knob and tube system. We have determined the course of action will be to replace/upgrade the entire electrical service.
