    No water to sink, toilet or tub, getting water everywhere else in the house
    One of our full baths is not getting any hot or cold water. It is really cold here right now,I was worried about frozen pipes, but all other water outlets work and no sign of burst pipes.

    Background: our house has 2.5 baths. 2 full baths on second floor and half bath on main level. The other two bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, dishwasher all have running water.

    Any ideas?

    Pipes don't show that they are burst until they thaw, so you need to be careful here as it sounds like frozen pipes to me...;)

    Turn the heat up in the home, open the cabinet to the bathroom sink, take the faceplate off the shower and then open the shower valve and the sink faucet. Take a hair dryer (or two or three) and carefully start heating the pipes under the sink and the space in the wall where the shower valve is. When water starts to trickle from the faucets you will know the pipes are about to thaw. If the pipes are broken you will find out fast at this point so be prepared to shut off the water main quickly. If you are lucky, the pipes are just frozen....frozen pipes do not always burst!!

    Good luck!
