Have a single floor slab home, 2 BR, 2 bath, in SW Florida. We've lost water pressure in the master bath but the rest of the house, kitchen, main bath, outdoor faucets all seem fine. It is affecting both hot and cold water and the toilet. The shower in that bathroom seems fine. At about the same time the water problem began we developed a water hammer but I don't know that they are related. I can find no leaks and the collection of symptoms just seems really odd. The water valves are not adjustable (that I know of) they just push/pull on and off. I'm asking for a few trouble shooting steps that make sense. The two things I can think of are to:
1. Swap out a known good fixture from the good bathroom and ensure the problem still exists.
2. Measure the water pressure at each valve. I'm assuming there's a reasonably priced gauge available for this task. Suggestions?
A couple more facts about the issue.
1. the water pressure in the affected bathroom seems about half of the other faucets.
2. The house is about six months old and this problem has developed over the last few months.
3. the water hammer seems only on the cold side (i think) and is not isolated to the bad bathroom fixtures.
Last question. If I call my local plumber is this kind of problem something he'd track down pretty easily?
Thanks...
