In my house, everything has perfect water pressure with the exception of this one sink. The hot water comes out at full force, but the cold water comes out at about 30% the rate of the hot water.
I have the valves that feed the water to the sink turned all the way on, but it's still a trickle. Anyone encounter this before and know how to fix it? ![]()

SNL sure has been getting better lately. They've been in a slump for a while, imo.

I just installed a new faucet for my parents and my father complained that the cold water did not have as much pressure as it used to. First I checked to make sure the valve was fully opened (it was) so then I followed all the hoses until I found the kink.
I hope this helps. Alvin |

Plumbing is a pretty simple system. If it is only the cold on one sink I'd start at the shut off for the sink. I'd take the connection off at the cold shut off for the sink and see if you have pressure at that point. If not and the pipe goes into the floor/wall you might want to call a plumber.
So now you know its in the sink fixture you just have to track it down. I had this problem once with a tub once and it turned out to be a tiny rock against the cold valve inside the pipe. I figured it got in the system when they were working on the main up the street earlier in the week. Vague, but I hope it helps. |

Just to stay on topic, I have no idea how to fix your sink. Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a plumber!!

Dude, I have the EXACT same problem. Except it's the opposite as in it's the cold water that;'s fine and the hot that's a mere shadow of the cold. So it's not EXACT but it's pretty close.
So what do i do? |
