A few days ago, I replaced the pressure release valve on my 5 year water heater. The seals in the old valve had worn out. The house is over 200 years old and the pipes are very old as well (don't know the age).
After bleeding my lines, I noticed I had no hot water pressure going to my kitchen sink. It was the only faucet in the house I had no pressure. I checked the faucet, but nothing was clogging it there.
I read online that I should wait a few days for the rust and sediment in the line to dry up and then re-bleed the lines again (after emptying the water heater). I did that. After bleeding the lines, I now have no hot water pressure anywhere in the house.
The cold water pressure is fine throughout the house.
What could be causing this?
How can I fix it?
Thanks!
