I had a professional plumber, who I've used before and who seems to know his stuff, come in and install a new shower pan and the pipes necessary for a Moen shower, handheld combo. It was a set of fixtures he recommended and had installed before.
I put in the backerboard, waterproofed and tiled and started attaching the fixtures. Everything seemed to look like it was supposed to. However, there is no water when I turn it on! I am pretty sure there is no water even coming to the pipes because I'd expect to hear something. I suspect the water is not quite turning on at the faucets. Either there is some sort of 'off' valve that I didn't see or there is an installation issue. CAn't see anything that makes sense, though. Absolutely no water was in the pipes when I took off the galvanized 'stops' and attached the new fixtures.
I've left a message for the plumber, but it is Saturday night, people are going to start arriving in the next few days, and I know the plumber won't be available until Monday.
The water runs perfectly in the sink and toilet in the same bathroom.
Any ideas? I'm freaking out!
