    Is this problem isolated to just this faucet or is it common throughout the home?

    I guess it is a single handle faucet. Remove handle. Behind the handle is safety stop. It is located on same stem that holds handle. It is either small black ring with lots of teeth or small brass washer with a protrusion. Remove it, toss it, reinstall handle. Now, you get max. hot water flow.
