I recently had a pipe break in my powder room downstairs. *The pipe

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.


An expansion tank should help (about $40), and reduce the wear on
appliance valves and extend your water tank life.- Hide quoted text -

"An expansion tank should help"

How would an expansion tank increase the pressure and/or flow at his
toilet and 1 of the 2 sinks in the vanity?
