I winterized the GMC. This is the fourth time I've done this now, so I think I know the drill by now.
Prior to winterizing, I ran some water through the faucets. I find it easier to drain the fresh water tank that way. Anyway prior to winterizing, all faucets worked fine.
My hot water tank started leaking this summer. And I when I dained it, I nothiced some large particles of "crud". I am assuming that means the inside is rusted and it is now time for a stainless steel replacement. I think some of that crud may have gone through the bathroom sink.
So I finished winterizing. The other faucets and the toilet all flowed pink antifreeze just as expected. But the bathrrom sink just barely trickles when I turn it on, hot and cold are both the same. I've never had that happen before. I have a separate shower faucet installed. The bathroom sink does not have a diverter valve. Eventually the very slow "trickle" started looking pink, so I think I am okay as far as winterization. But sonner or later int the spring I am going to want the faucet to work again.
I kind of suspect that some of the "crud" from the rusted-out hot water heater tank has gotten into wither the link to the sink or the sink itself. We would like to replace the sink wanyway as we think the one in there now is kind of ugly.
Since the kitchen sink is farther down the line and is flowing just fine, I don't think I changing out the line to the bathroom sink would be too big a deal. But before I do that, is there any other possible cause for the brathroom sink to behave the way it is?
Thanks.
