    Did this just start to happen? Does it only happen in the bathroom, or other sinks, etc in the home?

    When you turn the hot water on, no cold, do you have a good normal volume like you always did? Could just be a partially clogged cartridge. Try to answer cyberheaters questions too.

    We need a fair amount of info, so be patient.

    I'll ask:
    1. electric or gas water heater
    2. If you drain dome water from the drain, is it hot?
