I had a clog in the pipes under my bathroom sink. I shut off the hot and cold water valves before removing the pipes (just in case someone accidentally turned the water on while working). I ended up replacing the pipes and got everything set up. I turned the water valves back on but, when I turn the faucet on (both hot and cold) the water doesn't run. The water ran fine before I shut the valves and started working. Any thoughts?

You have disturbed some minerals built on the pipe walls and now it's clogging up the faucet. Let's hope that it's nothing more t6hen clogged screens in the aerator. Unscrew the aerator from the spout and check and clean the screens. With the aerator off turn the water on. Do you get a stream? If not click on back. Regards. Tom
