    Low hot water pressure at facets
    I have a two story home with great water pressure (hot and cold) upstairs and in the kitchen.

    The bathroom which is on the main floor (same floor as the kitchen) has little or no hot water pressure in the sink, shower or washing machine. I has come and gone. There was pretty good pressure for a couple of weeks and now nothing. The cold water pressure is excellent throughout the house.

    The hot water heater is in a cabinet in the bathroom.

    Any suggestions??

    Thanks -Vince

    Have you unscrewed the aerator off the lavatory spout and checked for trash. Now turn off the water to the washer and unscrew the hot water hose. Check and clean the screen. Let me know what you find. Good luck, Tom

    Yes, that was the first thing I did was remove the aerator. There was sediment plugging up the flow. With this removed I still don't have pressure at this facet.
