    Moen
    I am having trouble with my kitchen faucet (double handle MOEN) installed year ago.For the past couple of months the pressure is very low and it makes squeaky noise as well which is very annoying. Fixing through a plumber seems to be expensive. I need help.See if somebody out there can guide me step by step.I"ll really appreciate.

    Milo and John gave you a excellent place to, start. I hope that does it for you. However, If it don't then shut the water off at the stops and open up the valve and check for trash in the cartridge inlet ports or the valves seat.
    Now, with the valve still open turn the water back on to flush out the supplies and open valve body. Reassemble and testl. Better now? Good luck, Tom
