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?

Depending on where it is located and lots of other variables since it
acts as an accumulator it will help with maintain pressure and flow.

The OP had work done in a downstairs bathroom and is now experience
problems in a single toilet and 1 of 2 sinks, all of which are located
in the same upstairs bathroom.

Why would he suddenly need an expansion tank to fix those 2 fixtures?

To keep things simple, let's forget about the toilet for the time
being. Please explain the proper location and a few of the "lots of
other variables" that would explain how an expansion tank would be the
fix when of 1 of 2 side by side sinks suddenly starts experiencing
pressure and/or flow problems.

I'm just trying to learn. Thanks.
