What would cause you to lose water in one side of the house? Started with the hot water on sink faucet in bathroom, now no water to sink or toilet. Have water in tub still and rest of the house.

SOURCE: On demand, tank less water heater

THE WATER IS RECIRCULATING IN THE UNIT. MAYBE CAUSED BY THE ACID. TRY INSTALLING A BACK FLOW PREVENTER

It could be one of two problems, one simple, one serious.

• Easy fix
  

1. Turn off hot water angle stop under sink to faucet.
2. Remove supply line from hot angle stop.
3. Place end of supply line in a small bucket to catch some water.
4. Turn on cold water for a couple of seconds and backflush debris from faucet.
5. Reconnect supply line.
6. Turn on angle stop and test

Never use Draino on a toilet. All pipe cleaning liquids are not really a solution, just a temporary fix.

Since you said that the slow draining is associated with both the toilets and the sinks then I am almost certain that you have a venting issue.

Imagine a drinking straw.....now if you hold your thumb on the end of the straw and bring it up abouve the water level water remains in the straw. This is because air can't get in to replace the water. When your finger is removed then the water flows freely.

As with the straw, your plumbing must also breath. I would bet that one or more vents that are on your roof have become clogged with debrise. Squirrels love to throw nuts and stuff down there to build their nests upon.

Climb up there (safety is a priority) and try running a snake (~$10 at lowes) and see if you hit any obstruction. If so, use the snake to dislodge it.

If you would like, pour water down the vents either by hose or bucket and see if the water backs up. If it does then you have a clog. You can also use the water to try to clear the clog.

Thanks.

SOURCE: We have pressure on the cold water side but not on

make sure your water valve is working properly undo line and open valve if its working than take apart faucet and check for debri

Yes - This is an easy (though not widely known) diy fix! Remove the cover of the faucet handle (may pop off if crystal type or use a screwdriver to remove the screws) inside there is a scald guard safety mechanism - using a flathead screwdriver, turn the guard some the left. There should be a guide so that you do not turn the water up too hot. If there is not, you may need to consult a plumber or supplier in order to adjust the hot to a moderate temperature.

Hope this helps! ;)
