    No water from shower
    I have a single handle shower in our guest bathroom with no water coming from it.Been in the crawl space under the house to inspect for cut off valves, but there is'nt any.Both Master and Guest shower are back to back and run off the same pipes.Master bath works great but nothing in the Guest bath. Any ideas?

    Is this a shower only? By "no water" I take that you mean NO water, no hot no cold. What kind of valve do you have, one handle or two. Anybody done any plumbing work at all. Did this just happen suddenly or did the flow gradually decrease. Have you remove the shower head to see what happens?

    So you really don't know anything about this valve. What brand is it? Remove cover plate around valve and tell us what you see. Right now you are looking for stop valves in the lines where they connect to the valve. Post pic if you can.
