An Easy Fix to Low Water Pressure In Your Faucet

Low Water Pressure

Is the water flow coming out of your faucet getting slower and slower? Maybe it's time to clean your aerator.

The first sign of a blocked aerator is often low pressure on both hot and cold sides of your faucet. An obstructed aerator can greatly affect the amount of water coming from your faucet even if it is only partially blocked.

Luckily, this little plumbing problem is easy to fix. A quick cleaning and thorough rinse can do wonders to get your faucet back to normal.  If your aerator proves too difficult to clean, it can easily be replaced with a trip to your hardware store.
