This room is being renovated now, so there is no running water in
there.


However, we are experiencing mild water pressure related issues in our
upstairs bathroom.


1 of our 2 sinks in our double vanity has low water pressure.


Additionally, our toilet has been flushly strangely (take a second or
2 longer than usual).


The other sink and shower, as well as the rest of the first floor has
no water pressure issues.


The contractor is going to look at it today, but I was wondering if
anyone else has an idea.


I am clueless with this stuff.


Thanks.


Crud was knocked loose in the pipes during the repair, and it plugged up the
aerators in the faucets or the toilet valve.


Sure enough, there was some shrapnel in the faucet aerator. *That is
working like a charm again.
Still haven't determined the source of the problem with the toilet
yet. *Hopefully my guy takes a look at it today.

Depending on the type of fill valve you have in the toilet, you might
have a problem similar to the clogged aerator.

See steps 12 & 13 of these instructions:
