I recently had water damage in my apartment-style condo that affected the bathroom floor. The contractors disconnected the toilet and tore out the sink before replacing the flooring and hooking everything back up.
Upon checking the toilet, I noticed that it was now filling with hot water, which it never did before. I've complained to the company that did the work, but they say that the work they did couldn't have caused it and it might be related to the original leak repairs - that maybe they crossed up the pipes or something. However, every other hot and cold faucet in the unit (including another toilet) is working normally.
My suspicion is certainly that the contractors somehow hooked the toilet up to the wrong water pipe when the reinstalled it, but how likely is that? ANd can people think of any other possible causes for this?
For example, I've read about faulty shower mixing valves being causes of this kind of thing.
