Cold water in bathroom sink lacks pressure
No other outputs affected. Recently, had sprinkler system put in. They cut main line and patched it. At first, lots of muddy water was coming out of sink, toilet and shower. Then all water stopped. They found the debris in the pipe and cleaned it out. All worked well, but now my cold water has no pressure. Cold water works fine in shower and the toilet fills.
Is there an easy way to 'unclog I assuem, the cold water line?
Thanks for any help

You're going to hafta give me more details then that. Are you telling me that the only two fixtures in the entire house that hasn't lost pressure is the shower and toilet? It would seem to me that since the sprinkler guys caused the problem that they should be the ones to fix it, not you.
The dirt just worked its way up the line and is now blocking the inlet ports on your fixtures. You're going to hafta open up every valve and faucet that has low pressure and check the inlet ports and then flush out the cold water supply. You should also flush,(not drain) your water heater since it's al;so supplied with cold water and dirt and debris will build up on the tank bottom and eventually will find its way into the hotwater lines. Call them back. They didn't complete flushing your lines. In my opinion, when they cut in the tee they should have dug a "bell hole" for the water in the cut line to drain into.
They didn't and let the muddy water get into your system. Their fault, their responsibility. Regards, Tom
