    Water flow has stopped in one sink only
    Hi... newbie here. Today the water flow to the kitchen sink slowed down and then stopped completely - both hot and cold faucets.

    It's bizarre - the other sinks, showers etc in the house are fine - just the kitchen sink.

    Both shut offs under the sink are fully open and weren't touched before the problem began.

    Grateful for any tips before I have to call out a weekend plumber!

    Unscrew the aerator from the spout and check and clear the screens. If there's still no pressure then click on back w3ith the make and type of faucet that you have. Good luck, Tom

    Tom, this is why I love the internet. Absolutely spot on - clogged spout screen!! You just saved me a plumber's weekend call-out rate. Outstanding, and thank you...

    Cheers
