No hot water 1 faucet only - Upstairs Bathroom
Author: Kraftymom (NY) H have a faucet in the upstairs bathroom sink and when I turn on the hot water the pipe shakes and rattles, the hot water dribbles out and then stops. The pipes then groan and shake worse. If I turn on the hot water in the shower, the hot water will flow out of the sink faucet stronger but not full force, and no pipe rattle. Any thoughts? Thank You.
