Long story. Three years ago we had a hot water pipe leak under our slab. It ran from the garage to a downstairs guest bathroom (sink, toilet, and tub). A local leak detection company did an epoxy injection repair to the pipe, which lasted only 2 years, then the same pipe leaked again in the same place.
They came back out and this time they re-routed the line by running a flexible pipe from the garage through the ceiling and down the wall behind the bathroom vanity and reconnected it there.
Now it is about 11 months later and I went to use the tub in the room for the first time, and there is no hot water at the tub. It is a Moen single handle, installed about 2 years ago and rarely used, but I know it did have good hot water after it was installed.
Is it likely that they connected something wrong behind the vanity when they rerouted the hot water line and in the process the tub was left out of the hot water system?
To clarify at the tub, when I turn on the single handle there is strong cold water flow, but when I turn it all the way around to hot the water slows to a very, very weak flow, but remains cold water only.
