    Good morning Alfredo,
    Are you on a pump or city water? No pressure drop in the rest of the house at all? Have you shut off the water to the house and removed the lavatory angle stops and attempted to flush out the branch and supplies? Tom

    Was it cold and windy last night? Where the pipe goes up through the wall to the second story could have frozen. Leave a couple of faucets cracked open and hope for the best as it warms up. If you are lucky, the water will start flowing. Pipe thawing is an art I am not going into now. I don't know why they always insist on running pipes up outside walls.

    OK...
    Two bathrooms on the 2nd floor, on opposite sides of the house, front/back.
    Bathroom in question faces the front. I'm guessing one supply line is for both, and they split somehow. The 2 walls that have the shower/sink/toilet etc do not face the outside of the house.
    Its been reallly cold here for the past two weeks, dipping below 0 overnight.
    I do also have a leaky door seal, just below that bath.
    By the way, I'm on town water. I can't seem to find a valve for the upstairs at all. I can just find the main into the house.
    Will my pipes break when they thaw? Just underneath the bath, in the hallway, there appears to be some drywall patching on the ceiling, although it doesn't appear major.
