I had a leaky hose running from the hot water shut-off valve under the sink up to the faucet. I closed the valve, but when I took off the old hose, there was still a little water coming through so I completely shut off the water. I still had a little water coming through (I guessed it was because I didn't empty the hot water heater) but it wasn't enough to keep me from replacing the hose, so I didn't worry about it. I replaced the hose, turned the water back on, opened the valve, and now I have nothing but a dribble of water coming out. Cold works fine, so I know it isn't a clogged aerator. I have read that I may need to flush the hot water heater. I don't think this will help the problem because the hot water pressure in 3 other sinks and 2 showers is just fine. The only place I'm having the problem is with the one I 'fixed'.
