I just had a hot water heater replaced, I tried just replacing the thermal coupler as suggested on this site. (It was a nice try!) Anyway, all of my faucets are flowing fine except for one lavatory sink. When I first turned the hot water to this faucet on the water was "rusty" a little air...

The bathtub drains normally. This full bath shares a wall with a 1/2 bath in which that sink drains fine. Today I purchased a device to place on the end of my garden hose to place in the wall pipe and hopefully "shoot" out the clog. When I had tried Draino in the past the fix only worked for a...
