What could be wrong if you installed a new sink in the basement and there is no hot water pressure in the house?

One of the valves that you closed while hooking up the hot water to the sink was probably an old gate valve... It broke and did not fully re-open.

How do you stop water from going in to the basement?
Make sure you have gutters on the house and lead the water far enough away from the house. Make sure the ground around the house slopes away from the house. If you still get water in your basement it is caused by hydrostatic pressure. The water on the outside of the wall builds up until the hydrostatic pressure is great enough and the water then seeps through the block or enters where the floor and wall meet. This can be solved by using an above floor baseboard system to drain the water to a sump pump or drain. Waterproof.com has an above floor basement waterproofing system that you can install yourself for around $4 per foot.
Where can you discharge sump pump water from a basement?
Most cities / counties do not allow you to empty it into the drain so you need to pump it outside the home far enough away from the house so it doesn't soak back in and create hydrostatic pressure outside the basement walls.
Should you insulate your hydronic heat pipes in the basement?
If the basement has ventilation to outside, the answer is yes. Heat loss from the pipes will escape outside the house. If the basement is closed to the outside then no, the pipes need not be insulated. Any heat lost from the pipes will provide some heating to the basement that will rise into the house.

Where do you place home air conditioner?
This is really a question of taste, I believe. Which part of your house do you want to be cool? Many people opt for the bedroom, so it is cool when they sleep. Or, you could go for an energy-friendly alternative. In the house I grew up in we used to install it in the basement. As the basement was already naturally cool, one window unit was able to keep the whole basement nicely cool, and helped dehumidify it. I now live in Florida and had the same question but, we didn't have a basement. My wife called BudgetAirSupply.com at 855-473-6484 and they suggested that we install our portable air conditioner in the house which gets used the most. So, we installed it in the family room. Their advice was spot on and the whole house is much cooler now.
