What To Do When No Water Coming Out Of The Tap

Check Other Taps

Sometimes faucets get clogged, broken, or dislodged, and this can block the flow of water. Check if the issue is specific to one faucet or if there is no water coming out of other faucets in your house. If it is just one faucet, the problem is likely with that particular faucet.

Check Your Hot Water Supply

If the cold water tap is working fine but you can’t get hot water, you’ll need to check the hot water heater to see if it is working properly. It could simply be turned off or unplugged, or sediment buildup could be blocking the heating element. If the water heater is gas-powered, check to see if the pilot light is on. If it's electric, make sure it's plugged in and the breaker is not tripped.

Check With Your Supplier And Neighbours

It's always a good idea to check with your water supplier or utility company to see if there is a known outage or maintenance work happening in your area. You can also ask your neighbors if they are experiencing the same issue to help you determine if the problem is specific to your home or a wider issue affecting the neighborhood.

Check Your Water Main

If there is no water coming out of any faucet in the house, check the main valve that controls the water supply to your house. It is possible that the water main valve is closed, especially if you have had recent plumbing repairs in your home. The valve should be fully open.

Check For A Water Shutoff Valve

If the water is not coming out of a specific faucet, check to see if the shutoff valve for that particular faucet is closed. The shutoff valve is usually found under the sink or behind the wall.

Check For Frozen Pipes

In cold weather, water pipes can freeze, which can prevent water from flowing. Check your pipes for signs of freezing, such as frost or bulging.

Check For Blockages In Plumbing Pipes

A blockage in your water supply line may be the reason why water is not coming out of the faucet. Sediment buildup and corrosion can restrict the flow of water through your pipes.
