Hi,

We had a leak on the main water line & I had to shut off the mainline to fix it. I guess my wife and son had opened the first floor bathroom sink and kitchen sink faucets multiple times while the water is shut off. Once the leak is fixed, all other faucets are working good except these two. We got the kitchen one to work when we tried the sprayer. She did not use it while the water is off.

But, I could not get this bathroom sink faucet to work. It would let out few drops and stop. Same way for both hot and cold waters. Please let me know, whether it is because too much air in the pipe or something else. I would appreciate any help in fixing this issue.

Thanks in advance for your help,
GPALLI

This is common, when you shut the water off the sediment thats always in the pipes ends up where it wants to go. What I would do is to take off the aerator of the problem faucet and see if the water flows , if so, the aerator is clogged. Clean the aerator. If this dosen't work repost and we will try again. Luck.
