Hi Guys,
Over the last 2 days the plumbing in my bathroom has developed 2 problems which i am assuming are connected.
When turning the cold tap on for the bath, there was a large clunking noise then a massive drop in pressure. The tap has to almost fully open to get any flow at all and at fully open it is barely more than a drip. All other taps in the house are working as normal.
The second problem is with the shower, a Triton Opal 9.5kw Electric Shower, which takes its feed from the same source, when turned on last night the water started pouring from the little overflow pipe (behind the connection for the shower head) rather than the shower head, this happened for several seconds then the shower head started to flow but the overflow pipe continued to run. Immediately after turning the shower off the pipework gurgles loudly for a few seconds. I have tested the shower several times since always with the same result.
There has recently been work on the local supply undertaken by Northumbrian Water which has disrupted our supply several times, each time supply was returned the taps would spurt and bang as if expelling air. Further to that the shower and bath have been unused for a fortnight due to us being on holiday.
Could anyone offer any help?
Thanks in advance.
