    One side of double vanity not working after adding utility sink
    Hello,
    I added a utility sink rough in on the first floor in my laundry room by tee-ing into the hot and cold that feed the master bath upstairs. I turned the water back on to the house when I was finished and everything works except one side of the vanity. In other words, the other sink, shower, tub, toilet all flow hot and cold (toilet just cold) and I get nothing from one sink. When I turned it on I got a sputtering air popping noise and then nothing.

    Any ideas? I haven't shut the valves to that sink off, taken the feed lines off and turned on the valves to see if I have pressure there yet. That was my next move.

    Thanks,
    Dan

    Hi Dan

    It sounds like the AERATOR is plugged with sediment that got disturbed in the pipes when you turned the water back on... happens all the time.

    Remove the aerator from the faucet in question, run water without the aerator in place and then clean the aerator and reinstall... should be all set after that (see image)!

    Questions? Let me know, OK?
