    Kitchen Sink
    Suddenly this morning, water from our kitchen sink seems to be trickling. We do not have any problem with the water in our bathrooms. Yesterday, while using the Garbage disposal, a shot glass got caught up in the disposal and caused damage to the disposal.
    Please advise what should I check to get the water pressure back in the kitchen sink.

    Remove the aerator from the spout and check and clean the screens. Turn the faucet on, do you have pressure with the aerator off? Let me know what you find on the screens. Good luck, Tom

    Also tell us about you disposal. A shot glass should not have caused damage.

    Thank you. After I cleaned the spout I had normal water pressure. Also, by using the manual key to unclog the garbage disposal, I was able to get that also working. Thank you for the great advice.
