Default Low water pressure in some faucets

Hi all,
My house recently developed a problem: I have really low water pressure in
one of the bathrooms,
and in the kitchen. Water pressure is fine in the bathroom in the master
bedroom.

The house is sort of a tri-level, I have a family room and laundry that are
sort of below ground level
(Windows in family room are about ground level), the living room and kitchen
are at ground level,
and the two bathrooms and bedroom are upstairs.

One of the bathrooms has good water pressure, and the other, on the same
floor, has almost none.
I have a little more water pressure in the kitchen, but not as much as I
used to have.

What could be the cause?

Thanks for any and all advice and suggestions.

Godfrey

It has always been debris in the aerator for me.

Sounds like you need to unscrew the thing on the end of the outlet and
clean the screen out then put it back. They sometimes get clogged.

We had that happen in a one story in the kitchen a few times already,
and all it turned out to be was a piece of trash got stich in the
aerator pportion on the faucet, and it restricted water flow.
Short of a leak, or corrosion / obstruction in thepipe that leads to
that bath, my suggestion would be check the insides of the aerators
for debris.
