hello All,
I have a unique and random issue/question. Before I dig into resolving it myself or calling a plumber I wanted to see if anyone can diagnose this issue or might be aware of a potential cause.
I am a homeowner and have put in a backyard ice-rink for the first time this year. My home has a private well and, in the initial effort to fill the rink I learned the lesson not to try this with a private well. After 8 hours of filling, the rink was one tenth full and my well ran dry.
Anyway, water came back to my house after a couple of hours (after the well replenished) and everything is fine with one exception. The sink in an upstairs full bath does not work. No hot water and no cold water will come out of the split handle tap. in this same bath the toilet and shower work fine but no water will come out of the sink. Yes, the valves for the hot and cold feeds are open (they have not been touched since before the aforementioned rink filling incident).
I would assume water would just flow as it is forced.
Any ideas as to the cause/resolution?
BTW, I have tried leaving the faucet open - for 8 hours straight - to no avail.
thanks in advance for the detective work!
Pete
