No pressure in bathroom sink
 
Ok, I've just joined the group. I've got Major home repairs to start
and keep putting off.
First- The city, in it's infinite wisdom keeps digging up the street
in front of my house to make 'band aid' repairs on the main water
line. Ok, now, after they shut all of our water off to do this, the
water in my bathroom faucets is no longer there.???? This has happened
before, but, it comes on after half a day or so. This happened over a
Month ago. I've tried the turning off under the sink to see if the
pressure would build up,...Nope.
no pressure, no water. The other faucets in the house are fine. The
basement is referred to as 'the dungeon' for Good reason. I haven't
been down there to see if anything has burst, but...would it burst the
pipes after they turned the main line back on? HELP!!!!!!!!!!?????? kb

Check the aerator on the faucet, first place that gums up after they fool
with the water.

bits/whatever.

And the next two place to look if that does not solve the problem are in the
seats of a washerless faucet and the cutoff valve under the sink. After
removing the aerator if the problem persists try turning the cutoff on and
off since replacing the seats is tad more work.
