Laundry sink faucet has low pressure
If someone can help me, it would be great. My laundry room sink water pressure is very low. It wasn't like that originally. I checked to see if the aerator was clogged but actually there was none. The water pressure used to be very strong. One day it just became very low. No other water outlets in the home have lost pressure or that I have noticed. If there is a clog in the water supply line how does one clear it? Thanks for the help in advance.

Your valve is definitely clogged. Turn off the water and unscrew the bonnet packing nuts,( the nut just below the handle) and back the stems and washers out counterclockwise. Now place a pan over the open valve body to prevent splash and turn the water back on for a minute to flush out t6he supply lines. You should have a full stream. If not run a stiff wire past the seats with the water on and try to break up the blockage. Check the washers and if they are worn, replace them. Good luck, Tom
