I recently had a pipe break in my powder room downstairs. The pipe
was fixed rather quickly.

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.

Thanks the award. My OP stated the pipe failure, the fact that the

Not sure what else you would like me to add in terms of details?

Sounds like someone may have just turned a valve off somewhere when they
fixed the pipe, and didn't get it fully on again (or at least not open to
the extent that it was before). It certainly might be more noticable in
some places than others, depending on pipe layout / diameters.

If it's affecting the toilet, that suggests it's on the cold side (unless
you're like our neighbors and have your toilet hooked to the warm water
feed) - trace where the cold water supply comes into the house and
there'll be a main valve there somewhere. Open it up a little more if you
can...

Take off the airators on the end of the faucet, I bet they are clogged
with debris. Debris could be also be affecting how the toilet fills, I
removed one of the flex supply hoses on a toilet and a 1/4" rock was
reducing flow to near zero. Anytime plumbing work is done you can get
debris getting stuck in the small openings somewhere.

Thanks Jules. I will make sure the main water supply was fully re-
opened. If my contractor doesn't get to it first. Many thanks.

Are you speaking of FLOW or PRESSURE?

They aren't the same you know. (Or maybe you don't. G)

As for the toilet, what is it taking longer to do, move the water out of
the bowl or refill the tank? If it's the former, I'd doubt that it has
anything to do with the other problems.

I'll go along with clogged spout strainers, particularly since you say
only one of the two sinks in your double vanity has a problem.

Good Luck,

Jeff

Check to see if the upstairs feed is from the powder room. If so see if
they reduced the size of the pipe they repaired.

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

He's got issues, not problems, too. And clueless.

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.

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

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.

That reminds me of the famous Gary Slusser (or was it Slusher) who
insisted he could change system pressure by adjusting the pre-charge
in the pressure tank of a well system.

Because they are basically in the same location, the problem obviously
is in or near that location. The simple (and first thing a plumber
will check) is the strainers on the faucets and crud inthe valve at
the toilet.

An expansion tank will not do a thing for the problem. They are used
as "overpressure" protection on a sealed system (well or house with a
one=way valve on city water). They also cure water hammer if they are
near the source of the 'hammer'.

I figured you did but...

I also am waiting with baited breath for the explanation. Should be
good. Probably not as good as Gary Slusser was. Haven't seen
anything from him for many years. Last I heard of him was my post
pointing out (for the umpteenth time) the pressure outof thetank is
the same regardless of the pre charge. Sudden silence at that point
as if all the hundreds of possts trying to get it through his thick
head finally sunk in.
