    Mystery sink
    Hello experts... please help. About 6 months ago, my husband replaced our master bath toilet. He turned off the main water supply, and all the knobs in the master bath. Upon completing the job, the main supply was restored and all the knobs in master bath turned on. The toilet works(yippee) and so does the shower, but the sink in the bathroom didn't come back on. Can't figure out what to do, any thoughts?
    Thanks Twinmama2

    Sounds like hubby dislodged some minerals built up in the pipe and now they're clogging the lavatoryfaucet. Have you unscrewed the aerator from the spout and checked and cleaned the screens? If you have and still no pressure You'll have to shut the water off under the cabinet and take the faucet apart. Check the inlet ports on the cartridge. Before you button up turn on the water to flush out the supplies and valve body. Reassemble and give it a try. Good luck, Tom

Plumbing - 1st floor sink backs up in sink below [ 3 Answers ]

I have a 1st floor kitchen sink directly above a basement sink. When the 1st floor sink is full, it drains quickly and backs up in the sink below - which then drains relatively quickly.
