    New plumbing
    I just put in new 3/4 cpvc main supply lines to replace the old galvanized ones. We were losing water pressure more and more everyday. Well I got them all hooked up and leak free turned the water back on and BAM no water pressure at all. In the kitchen water is barely coming out, the toilet is filling all right, the bathroom sink has pretty good pressure and the shower has nothing. Now I did not replace all of the old plumbing just the main supply lines. And if I disconct the flex pipe underneath the kitchen sink I got good pressure but if its hooked up then I don't. How do I fix my pressure problem or unclog my faucets?

    First remove the screens (Aerators) at the end of the faucets.

    You may have to take apart the control valves and clean them.
