My power was out for 30hrs+. Two hot water heaters in attic. No leaks after multiple days, can get hot water but the water pressure isn't the same as before.

I checked the pressure relief lines and no water is coming out.

Anybody got something else for me to check?

filters

In houston when we finally got water pressure back the water was spitting our brown dirt for a little while. my washing machine wasn't getting any water to it until i took the filters out and cleaned them.

Take the shower head off and run hot water through just the pipe, if it flows well clean the head, just a process of elimination

Before you call a plumber: Faucets have a cap with a screen/filter where the water comes out, unscrew and rinse it, turn water on full blast, a lot of hunk will probably come out.

Shower head may also have a screen or one of this flow limiters that is clogged. The cartridge in the valve body in my shower also has screens.
