    Hi nikegirl

    Welcome

    Need more info. Type of faucet? Make and model.

    Have u worked on plumbing to sink?

    Check shut off valves under sink. Be sure they are open.

    Remove aerator and clean screening.

    Get back to us and let us know if this helps.
    If not , will go from there.

    Good luck

    Hi Nikegirl:

    As stated above... check the aerator. Unscrew CLOCKWISE and clean the screens.

    Let us know how you make out... ;)
