    Help!! Over the past 6 months my bathroom sink has become less
    ... and less water pressure.


    Now we only have a drip out of both cold and hot. What can I try to help this out? I have removed screens and nothing there obstructing. :( All ideas welcome."

    Check the shutoff valves under the sink and make sure they are open? Kids like to play with them.

    Is it just the sink or everything? If its sink only remove the aerator and tell us how its acting without one.

    Yeah its just the sink... shower and toilet work fine. I will try and remove the aerator (as soon as I find out how) and let you know. Thank you

    That was the first thing I did. But that doesn't seem to do it. I haven't checked the valves in the laundry room yet that lead to the bathroom... I may do that too. Thanks.

    I removed the screen from the bathroom sink faucet and it still only drips... no water at all.

    OK then we need to pull the stems or cartridge, now you can close those valve (stops) under the sink. Do you know if you have stems or cartrdiges and what brand of valve if you can find that too
