I recently had a pipe break in my powder room downstairs.  The pipe
was fixed rather quickly.

This room is being renovated now, so there is no running water in
there.

However, we are experiencing mild water pressure related issues in our
upstairs bathroom.

1 of our 2 sinks in our double vanity has low water pressure.

Additionally, our toilet has been flushly strangely (take a second or
2 longer than usual).

The other sink and shower, as well as the rest of the first floor has
no water pressure issues.

The contractor is going to look at it today, but I was wondering if
anyone else has an idea.

I am clueless with this stuff.

Thanks.

Thanks the award.  My OP stated the pipe failure, the fact that the
pipe was fixed, and the ensuing symptoms.

Not sure what else you would like me to add in terms of details?

Having been involved with various WWII sites, when people say "powder
room" I immediately think of volatile explosives... :-)

Sounds like someone may have just turned a valve off somewhere when they
fixed the pipe, and didn't get it fully on again (or at least not open to
the extent that it was before). It certainly might be more noticable in
some places than others, depending on pipe layout / diameters.

If it's affecting the toilet, that suggests it's on the cold side (unless
you're like our neighbors and have your toilet hooked to the warm water
feed) - trace where the cold water supply comes into the house and
there'll be a main valve there somewhere. Open it up a little more if you
can...

cheers

There is nothing else you need to figure it out.

Take off the airators on the end of the faucet, I bet they are clogged
with debris. Debris could be also be affecting how the toilet fills, I
removed one of the flex supply hoses on a toilet and a 1/4" rock was
reducing flow to near zero. Anytime plumbing work is done you can get
debris getting stuck in the small openings somewhere.

Thanks Jules.  I will make sure the main water supply was fully re-
opened.  If my contractor doesn't get to it first.  Many thanks.

Are you speaking of FLOW or PRESSURE?

They aren't the same you know. (Or maybe you don't. )

As for the toilet, what is it taking longer to do, move the water out of 
the bowl or refill the tank? If it's the former, I'd doubt that it has 
anything to do with the other problems.

I'll go along with clogged spout strainers, particularly since you say 
only one of the two sinks in your double vanity has a problem.

Good Luck,

Jeff

Crud was knocked loose in the pipes during the repair, and it plugged up the 
aerators in the faucets or the toilet valve.

He's got issues, not problems, too. And clueless.
