Hi,

Im having a problem with my hot water pressure in a section of my home. It's confined to my kitchen and washroom area, which are located right next to each other.The water pressure both hot and cold are just fine in all other areas of my home, and the cold water pressure in the problem areas is working just fine as well, only the hot water is under very low pressure. Im trying to get an idea about what it might be before I start troubleshooting everything. Thanks...

Marc

Have you tried shutting the water off at the house shut off and then removing the hot and cold angle stoips from the wall stubouts?
Now place a bucket under the wall stub outs and, one by one, first turn on the cold water for a minute and then the hot. This will flush out any trash in the lines. You should have a strong stream when you do this, if not click on back and tell me about it, Good luck, Tom
