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 |

They sometimes get clogged. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

Low water pressure in some faucets
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.
