No running water in my kitchen sink ?
Hello, I woke up this morning and noticed I have no running water, yet everywhere else in my house I have running water. The kitchen sink is the only place in my house that there is no hot or cold water coming out of my taps. Any advise??

Start by removing the aerator at the end of the faucet SPOUT, Lisa... see picture below. Spin the aerator out clockwise (may need a pair of pliers to do this) and clean the screen. Run the water WITHOUT the aerator in place and see if water flows. If so, clean the aerator and re-install.
Otherwise, I'm wondering if you are in a COLD region? Is it very cold there? Possible that maybe the pipes froze overnight? If possible then open up the cabinet and let some warm air circulate over the pipes. You can speed the process by using a hair dryer or a paint stripping heat gun to heat the pipes themselves... be careful not to burn anything or leave these tools unattended... ok? YOU MUST leave the faucet wide open to WARM setting if single handle or just open both handles if a two handle faucet for pipes to thaw fast using tools mentioned. THIS IS TRICK TO THAWING PIPES... ;) Be prepared for worst case in case pipes froze and burst. You will not know that the pipes burst until AFTER they thaw so be prepared by knowing where the MAIN WATER SHUTOFF is in the house... ok? Let me know more here... MARK |
