I live in a mobile home and all my drains are backing up into each other. Advice please?
Are you in a mobile home park, or on your own land, is the system plumbed to a city main or is it septic? if you hooked into a city main then you need to rent a power snake and snake all the drains you can rent one from most home depots or equipment rental stores for about 40-50 bucks for 4 hrs vs a plumber charging you 300 for 15 minutes worth of work. If you have septic tank it may be full, they don't last forever and are suppose to have chemicals to break down the materials there. If your in a mobile home park then you may have to go through them the owner of the park or at least ask them, Do you own it the mobile ? or are you renting it if renting its the landlords problem to fix in most cases unless you signed a lease stating otherwise. Also all drain, are connected to a main pipe Generally when only one drain is slow or plugged, the others work fine its only the one drain But since all your drains are backing up then the main drain pipe is plugged. A power snake would be the only solution in the latter case either you rent one which is the cheapest and easiest route, what ever you do don't pour chemicals like drain-o its an acid and will eat the pipes as well and will cost you major money down the road in plumbing replacement a power snake 100ft is easy to use just don't put it down the toilet drain it scratch the hell out of it. The easiest drain to access it the washer machine drain, or you either have to take about the P-trap assembly under your bath sink tube or kitchen sink hope it helps Lr
How do I know if tub drain is clogged or pipe frozen?
The drain cleaner can prove a negative when you have to get involved with the water & splashes. I would say the liklihood of a freezeup in the drainage system and at 15 above zero is nil. Supply pipes freeze up but drains are bigger and most of the time empty. The hair you found is the clue to what lies beneath. More hair. Some people emit so much hair they ought to have 4" pipes. Anyway, what you need is a snake. These are actually relatively fun to use. Get one in a cannister although a plain snake is a little cheaper, but difficult to use. With the cannister type you turn the knob while feeding the snake down the drain. (You have to remove the strainer). It may be easier to remove the two screws of the overflow system and remove the stopper system and then go down from there. I had a massive clog in the kitchen sink and I went up on the roof and ran the snake down the vent to where the clog was. It was not in the sink pipes but deeper. It took a lot of time and effort but I did eventually get it. It does have that quality of being a tribulation--but fun when you overcome.

I live in a mobile home. When I turn on the hot water nothing comes out but still have cold water.?
The most straight forward path would be to just start tracing the lines. Find the faucet that is closest to the hot water heater. This will most likely be the last cold water tap before the water heater and the first hot water tap after the heater. If you have cold water but not hot water at this point, then you have a blockage in the line between that faucet and the hot water heater. The line could very easily be frozen right before or right after the water heater or it could be some other type of blockage. This would stop the hot water flow and you would still have cold water. Turn the hot water heater off (breaker for electric, valve for gas) and pull the incoming water valve to see if you are getting any water to the water heater. If you are then replace the incoming Valve and remove the discharge valve to see if you are getting anything out. If don't get any water out then you have a problem with the heater and probably need to call someone to work on it. P.S. if you are getting air pockets in the lines then you need to install a check valve on the incoming line to prevent back flow.
My mobile home air conditioner keeps freezing up. doesnt seem to cool well either.?

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button at the top until a red slider appears. Slide it to power off the device.Method 3:As a last resort, you can try a more forceful approach. This should only be done if the previous method does not work, as it isn’t exactly great for your phone’s software.Press and hold the top-side Sleep/Wake button and the Homebutton at the same time. Hold for 10 seconds, or until the Apple logo appears.This method can also be used if your device is not turning on, or not coming out of standby mode.Method 4: Connect your iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If it pops up as connected, click Restore on the Summary pane.
