Why Is Only One Faucet in My House Running Low on Water Pressure?

Have you noticed that only one faucet in your home barely trickles while all the others are working fine? It’s frustrating when your kitchen sink won’t rinse dishes properly or your bathroom faucet takes forever to fill the sink.

At 2 Sons Plumbing Bellevue, we help homeowners solve these everyday problems. Our licensed plumbers know how to spot whether it’s a quick fix or something that needs a professional touch, so your faucet works like new again.

One Faucet Has Low Pressure? Common Causes Explained

When only one faucet is giving you trouble, the cause is usually nothing major. Most of the time, it comes down to a clogged aerator or a worn-out cartridge inside the faucet. Over the years, Bellevue’s water can leave behind little bits of mineral buildup, and those tiny deposits are often enough to slow your water flow to a trickle.

In some cases, the cartridge—the piece that mixes hot and cold water—gets worn out or jammed with debris. The good news? If only one faucet is struggling, the problem is usually local to that fixture, not your whole plumbing system.

Quick DIY Fixes You Can Try

If you don’t mind getting your hands a little wet, here are two simple steps that often solve the problem:

Clean the aerator – Unscrew it from the faucet tip, rinse it, and if it looks clogged with white or green buildup, soak it in vinegar to break it down.
Replace the cartridge – If the aerator isn’t the issue, the cartridge may need replacing. You’ll have to shut off the water to the faucet, remove the handle, and install a new cartridge.

Sometimes, that’s all it takes. A new aerator costs about $5–$20, making it one of the cheapest plumbing fixes around.

When It’s Time to Call a Plumber

If the DIY steps don’t work—or if every faucet in your house has low pressure—it’s best to call a professional. The issue could be with your home’s pressure regulator, a main water line, or even the city supply.

At 2 Sons Plumbing Bellevue, we’ll pinpoint the problem quickly and get your water flowing again. Professional cartridge repair or replacement usually runs $200–$350, but it ensures the job is done right and keeps you from wasting time on repeat fixes.

2 Sons Plumbing did a fantastic job! I had a difficult water line replacement job, and they were friendly, quick and professional. The work turned out great. I had Dave as the project manager and he was honest and great to work with.

Would use them again for sure.

The 2 Sons company was prompt, thorough, clean, and performed precise, high-quality work. The office staff and plumbing technician showed professionalism and a focus on details. The finished repair exceeded our expectations, the price was very reasonable (high value for the quoted price), and the technician left the Job site spotless. See attached photo, they used the Big Bertha Motorized Snake to clear a clogged drain, the obstruction was 25 feet away!!

Great service over a holiday weekend. Total failure of our sewer line was fixed with a ten year warranty. Clean, great communication, full fix. It cost a lot -- I mean, it was a major repair in a hundred year old house-- but was reasonable for what we received, and the pricing was very transparent. Seth, Jorge, Shane, Dan, and others were all perfectionists and appreciated.

2 Sons Plumbing is a top notch company. Recently I had a water line hooked up for a new refrigerator and Justin and Bryce were my technicians. They were so competent, careful, and efficient and I really appreciated their professionalism. Justin even showed me how to use the displays on the new fridge. They made sure every thing was clean, the lines flushed and working before they left the house. Their pricing is extremely reasonable also, I got two quotes for installing the waterline and 2 Sons was the most reasonable. Last year I had a clogged kitchen drain during the Christmas holiday's and 2 Sons Plumbing was the only company that would come out right away and not charge a high holiday rate. I highly recommend 2 Sons Plumbing for any plumbing needs.

This is the second time I used 2 Sons Plumbing. This project was to install a toilet. Like the first time, the toilet installation went flawlessly. The support from Autumn and the other folks in the front office made scheduling easy and they were able to reschedule it to meet some changing circumstances on my end. I requested Brandon to do the work as he performed my previous job. He also recommended a high quality toilet that worked in my situation. I was called and texted to let me know he was coming. He was fantastic and explained how he was going to do the work and showed me the conditions of my existing connections. He got it done very quickly and efficiently and did not leave any mess. I’m super impressed with how this company operates.

Thank you, Bob, for your professional, courteous, and kind service! My downstairs tub was running with high pressure due to some worn out stems. Bob was thorough—but unfortunately our fixtures are quite old, and he didn’t have appropriate replacements available the first day. However, they were able to find the appropriate stems for our tub and fixed the leak right away day 2. I cannot speak highly enough about how grateful I am for the way 2 Sons accommodated my schedule when they needed to return with the appropriate fixtures. The technician was a genuine joy to work with—and I appreciate the quick follow up and turn around. I also appreciate the way Bob walked me through the process and double checked for leaks.

We had a great experience. Brandon and Chris were very polite and professional. We had a massive leak under a toilet and they came and fixed it on a Saturday. They were very timely and hardworking. Ethan was another who was also very polite and professional. Pricing was also very manageable for the extent of the problem we had. I would highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our experience with 2 Sons. We had an emergency that had water all over our kitchen and basement. They were able to send someone out later in the evening for us after several other companies either cancelled on us or said they couldn't come until the next day. Our technician/plumber Riley was great to work with - friendly, quick, and effective! They even gave us a call back a few days later to check in on our experience and to answer some extra questions we had. Highly recommend!

I have not decided to go with 2 Sons for the plumbing issues I have yet. However, I am very impressed by the technician, Guy, who came for the appointment. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and thorough. I told him that I was just getting a quote and not ready to commit to do the repair right away. He was very understanding. I have a clogged kitchen sink, disconnected washer hose causing water damage, and likely a disconnected pipe behind the wall. He explained the steps I need to take before he can help for all three issues. Like I should hire the restoration company to repair the water damage before reconnecting the pipes. He also helped to take pictures and referred me to a restoration company for the jobs outside of his scope. Before he left, he measured the water pressure to make sure the pressure is within a normal range. Just to make sure the water is not putting too much pressure on the fixtures resulting leaks. It was definitely a surprisingly pleasant and thorough experience with Guy.
