Why no water coming out from my bathroom faucet and toilet??

[Stan0228]

I finally finished rerouting the leaking pipe from washer to bathroom. Everything looks good except I encountered this weird problem. After I finished reroute, there is no water coming into my TOILET, and NO cold and NO HOT water coming out from my bathroom FAUCET neither. What would be the problem?

I love a good puzzle. I just looked at the puzzle you created on another previous post
Going to go give it a shot. Have patients.

this is what i got he other day...but need ?'s answered

I deduce, a 1/2'' manifold behind tub look at picture post #3 it shows the lav and manifold behind toilet, but does not show water to the tub.

From your original pictures which # line did you reroute/eliminate?
I posted my thoughts on how lines are routed on you original post, but To be more accurate I need to know how many lines you have at the kitchen and maybe even at the water heater.

Post from original problem

I am trying to find out where does my kitchen cold water pipe come from???

I've tested several different pipes for several hours and still have no clue where does my kitchen cold water pipe come from?
Is it possible that a 3/4" pipe has a branch pipe under the slab?

I enclosed the following photos -
* my house fixture layout (photo 1)
* water pipes behind my washer (photo #2)
* pipes behind my bathroom toilet/sink (photo #3).
I labeled all pipes with different numbers.

For the pipes behind washer, I found pipe #3 should be the pipe coming from the mainline
(because when I cut the pipe #3 and end cap the bottom,
there is no cold/hot water inside the whole house as well as the outside faucet in the backyard.)
By the way, pipe #1,2,3 are all 3/4" pipe.

Then I tested pipe #2 (after connect pipe #1 back) by cut off pipe #2 and put an end cap at the top.
Now there is still cold water coming out from ALL fixtures in the house including the outside faucet, but NO HOT water at all.
(Later I connected the pipe #2 back and there is hot water in the whole house.)
Does that mean this pipe #2 is connectin to the water heater??
But it doesn't seem right because the water heater is located before the washer and between the water meter and washer.

Now last pipe I tested is pipe #5 in the bathroom.
(Pipe #5,6 are 3/4" and #4,7,8 are all 1/2".)
I cut pipe #5 and put an end cap at the bottom.
Now there is NO COLD water coming out from sink/toilet/tub in BOTH bathrooms. However there is still cold water coming out from KITCHEN SINK and OUTSIDE FAUCET.
Where do the kitchen and outside faucet cold water pipes come from?

Copy of reply and diagram here so we don't have to go back to original thread.
From what he described I think this makes the most since.
You did not test #1
What is behind door #3 (the kitchen)??
And how do you know which line is leaking under the slab?

Do you have a water to refer? A valve behind the refrigerator or tubing from the KS?

Do you have an air compressor or a bottle of CO2.
Beats having to put each one back together to see what you lost
turn of main water
Cut #1
Blow air into #1 see which fixture have air.

How many loops at the kitchen???

In a nut shell
Cut # 3 loose all
Cut #2 loose Hot only
Cut #5 loose both bathrms but not kitchen/hose bib

#3 main feed
#2 to water heater#1 to kitchen/ rear hose bib
#5 from kitchen to middle Bathroom
#6 to far bathroom

Frado, you are truly the master in plumbing! At the end, I confirmed the pipe layout of my home is exactly like what you drew (photo below). Thank you! and thank you!!

 

[Stan0228]

For the problem of no water coming into my toilet tank and faucet, I am going to try disconnecting the supply line to my toilet tank later today and test if there is water coming out from the supply line. I will do the same to my faucet too. By doing that, I hope to find out first if it is the water pipe problem or not. Hope I am taking the right step to solve the problem!

 

[frodo]

what do i win ?

After I finished reroute, there is no water coming into my TOILET, and NO cold and NO HOT water coming out from my bathroom FAUCET neither. What would be the problem?

So I take it you routed line #2 to line #5 if you say Frodo was right.
Did you check all the fixtures when done?
Was it only the 1 bath room you had a problem with after the reroute?



Frodo layout does not make since by what you described.
he has #2 going to bathroom. You cut #2 and lost only hot water.
If you cut #1 , then you would loose ALL hot AND cold to kitchen & hose bibb.

Please tell me why I am wrong. What am I missing??

 

[frodo]

I did not put the loops in order..I figured out he had a 3/4 feed the washer, 3/4 to water heatr and 3/4 to bathroom

did not need to put them on the exact number


where i got my "clue" from was the picture of the bathroom water..look to the left, you can see 2--3/4 lines loooping in behind the lav


common since tells me. 1 loops in from w/h the other loops to the other bathroom

so..either the kitchen loops hot from the other bathroom or from the w/h

he tested that line, varified it was not looped from the 2nd bath.

all that is left is the w/h

and, I figure, the cold will be looped the same as the hot

that leaves me, with kitchen h and cold looping from w/h

the t hb...loops off the kitchen

You should, so you can know which one goes where

But here's my argument.
Stan0228:
"For the pipes behind washer, I found pipe #3 should be the pipe coming from the mainline

We can agree on that.

He cut the loop to the water heater #2
where i got my "clue" from was the picture of the bathroom water..look to the left, you can see 2--3/4 lines loooping in behind the lav.

Does that mean this pipe #2 is connectin to the water heater??

If you cut #2 to WH then in your layout, you would loose cold water to the kitchen. Stan said he had cold every where.


common since tells me. 1 loops in from w/h the other loops to the other bathroom
I have done so many slab leak reroutes that common since gets tossed out the back door
so..either the kitchen loops hot from the other bathroom or from the w/h

he tested that line, varified it was not looped from the 2nd bath.

all that is left is the w/h Again. If he only lost hot when he cut #2 then how does the kitchen get cold water
and, I figure, the cold will be looped the same as the hot

that leaves me, with kitchen h and cold looping from w/h

the t hb...loops off the kitchen
That is a perspective of common since if you had installed it but you didn't.
Sometimes but not always the will run 3/4 to back hose bib for the possibility of installing an irrigation system for the back yard.

Not saying I'm right but Stan is missing something after his rerouted.
He hasn't verified yet if it's just clogged aerator or ??

also curious as to which line was leaking and which # loop ( his reference)are no longer connected to system after reroute.

 

[Mr_David]

Oh Master Frodo! Please forgive my insolence!

I see the error in my misjudgment.

I disregarded your 2nd drawing with the red lines.
you have #2 going to WH only.

Oh wait, maybe my insolence is in haste.
I almost bowed to submission.

If you cut #5 and loose cold water to both Bath rooms.
How does the loop to tub to Kitchen have water?

Stan0228 original question:

I cut pipe #5 and put an end cap at the bottom.
Now there is NO COLD water coming out from sink/toilet/tub in BOTH bathrooms. However there is still cold water coming out from KITCHEN SINK and OUTSIDE FAUCET.
Where do the kitchen and outside faucet cold water pipes come from?

 

[frodo]

can the master frodo crap...you know as well as i do .firgureing it out is a crap shoot.

he only tested the 3/4 lines. i ignored most of what he said, because it was making no since to me.

first manifold. pipes 123. he never did say where he verified # 1 to go

i went by the # of pipes in the manifold in relation to the fixture proximity

I still have questions
my guess was just that a guess, i t would make more since if their was a manifold behind the tub

but,,he never verified it was or was not...on the hot piping.

where is the hot to the tub? all you see is 2- 3/4.at the lav

I SAW THEIR IS A MANIFOLD behind the tub,

and i DEMAND HE CUT THE WALL!!!!!!

to find out
