I can't get the water to go on after fixing the leaking sink.
Years ago one of the double sink in the 1950's bathroom kept leaking so we turned the water off underneath and always used the other sink. This morning hot water began leaking from the sink, so I replaced the angle valves, the hoses and installed the new faucet that had been waiting there for a year. However, the water does not go on. It went back on every where in the house and in the sink, toliet and shower in that bath. A few drops will come out (2-5 a minute) if I turn the water on full.
I tried turning the angle valves every which way, but no luck. Could someone have turned water off to that sink from somewhere else? I don't use the sink really so it isn't urgent. Just irritating. I had to call a friend of my mom's daughter to help get off the old fixtures and she screwed on the new angle valves.
Any suggestions?
