We barley had any hot water pressure to begin with in the entire house, today we woke up and now have no hot water at all. We turn the cold water on and then move the faucet to hot and it just stays cold with the same little pressure we had before. :( Help Please

One sink or all? What kind of faucets? How long since you drained and flushed water heater.

All the sinks in the house even the tub... we have lived here since Aug. 2007 and this place is a 96 and we have never drained it.

Thartman... what kind of hot water heating system do you have? Gas-fired water heater, electric water heater, etc.?

Connect a hose to the drain at the bottom of you water heater, open and flush your tank. If you get no water or very little water the sediment or mineral deposits have built up so much that the dip tube inside is blocked, which is what I suspect. Essentually that means a new water heater.
