Replaced Main Water Line, Now Shower Line Is Clogged
We had a leak, so we had the water line and sewage line from the house to the street replaced. Now we have no water in the shower. Some debris most have clogged up the line coming into the shower. All the other lines are fine. My Dad is somewhat of a handyman and wants to fix the problem himself. If he takes the knobs off the faucet, water shoots out those pipes. If he hooks a water hose up to the faucet, water comes out the shower head fine. What is the easiet way to locate this problem or flush the debris out?
Thanks
Melissa

Good morning Melissa,
It would be a big help if I knew the brand name and type,(one handle or two knobs) of shower valve that you have. If you have a strong stream coming from the valve when it's apart then your father has successfully flushed out the supplies, valve body and shower raiser. That would put the blockage in the parts he removed. To be more specific I'll need the details of the shower valve. Regards, Tom
