    Loss of pressure in one sink
    We lost the water pressure (both hot and cold) in one sink and one sink only. The pressure is fine and unchanged in every other sink and faucet in the house. Any suggestions before I call a plumber? Thanks to all.

    Remove the Aerator see the image below, open both hot and cold see if the water flows, if it does clean the Aerator and install, if no flow let us know, Thanks.

    That did it! There were some small, rock-like things in the aerator that I knocked out, and the pressure was fine without the aerator in. I put it back in and it works as good as new.

    Thanks John
