What does it mean when your water is down to a trickle?
If it is the diverter, you may have pressure there that is intermittent. This suggests a problem with the initial entry of water into the home, most likely a clogged filter. With a week away, the water beyond the partial obstruction builds up pressure.
What to do when hot water trickles out of faucet?
You can disconnect your supply tube at the faucet and run water in a bucket. Also you can put a penny or dime in the faucet aerator and run the cold water backwards through the hot side for it to come out the hot supply tube connection. Have a bucket. It’s usually the washer on the shut off valve. It can also be a kinked supply line.
Why does my house have no hot water?
So running the hot water very slowly or very weak building water pressure could be the problem.

What to do if you have no hot water in your bathroom?
All other possibilities aside, if a hot-water deficiency in a bathroom is accompanied by a loss of water pressure, that’s a symptom of a leak. Test the water pressure in the bathroom faucets with a pressure meter; it should be about the same as the pressure at the water heater. Call your new plumber friend if it’s significantly lower.
Why does hot water trickle out of the faucet?
Cold is fine, with full flow. The hot water flow rate is not consistent, but ranges from “trickle” to “very slow”. Moen support was great, and sent me out new parts, including a cartridge. No luck. I’ve attempted to flush the hot water line (turning on the hot water with the faucet open and cartridge removed), but it is still very slow.
