Lost Hot Water Pressure but Cold Water is fine

Hi,
We had a flood in our laundry room earlier today when the aquarium I was siphoning into the nearby sink started to siphon onto the floor instead (the hose came out of the sink and was draining water onto the floor). I didn't realize this, and suspected a leaky pipe when I saw the water dripping from the ceiling in the basement so I immediately shut off every valve I could think of.
When we discovered what the cause of the leak was I turned every valve back on. We have the same pressure from the cold water tap in every faucet in the house. But, we have lost pressure to the hot water taps in every faucet. I'm guessing we have an air bubble in the pipe or something?
What do I do to fix this problem? Thanks in advance.
