I've got a 16x20 cabin on my place in the woods. Runs off well water. I shut everything down before the big freeze. Drained small water heater, drained pipes, shut off well breaker, shut off pipes, etc.
After the freeze, turned everything back on. No leaks. I guess since water heater was empty, shower was sputtering and spitting. Eventually started flowing correctly.
But the small sink in the bathroom next to the shower has no water. After the freeze I thought I heard some air coming out and was waiting for water to start flowing. No bueno. Checked shutoff valves under the sink. I never turned them off.
Plumbing is pex. There aren't any leaks under the cabin so I don't think I have a breakage/leak in the short 5' run between shower and sink.
Problem is, entire bathroom is walled in with plywood and I can't get to anything. Not that I would know what to do if I could. I feel like this is type of air blockage/vent issue. But can't figure out.
Here's a few posts with some basic pics of the setup:
Pex runs from Water heater to shower/toilet/sink. I don't have any pics of all the plumbing before I skinned the frame.
Thanks for any ideas.
