|

Last week I had a pipe burst from the cold weather,I had a plumber come out and fix it but now I have very low water pressure in my bathtub faucet.The water was off for two days,could the faucet valves be clogged with setiment ,should I try and change my waterfaucet?Any info will be greatly appriciated.

| Could be debris stuck in the valves, but normally would only affect the side that had been worked on, unless it is a single handle mixer. Removed the valve and very briefly turn the water on/off. This should dislodge any debris. |
