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.

Dave and David came and cleared out a huge clog in my kitchen sink (both sides) that has been plaguing us for a while as well a ton of glass shards that got into the drain when our glass fridge shelf broke. Dave walked us through each step of the process and explained everything which was excellent. He also gave us advice about galvanized piping replacement. They even gave us a few free parts for the sink drain that had eroded away and didn’t charge extra for it!! All around 5 star service!!!

Fantastic service and communication. Local company. Solved my clogged basement laundry utility sink. Dave and David were courteous, informative, professional and easy to engage with. Scheduling was easy (they came the next day) and they arrived within the expected time window. Transparent pricing and i could also apply a coupon. I will use them again.

Great service and Dave their plumber is the best. We have an odd house with even odder plumbing. The pipes are a mess of grandfathered-in open air nonsense, when our pump started making some noises (and a little leaking) after some DIY heat tape adventures (getting ready for colder weather), we were worried that we would need a massive repair but Dave came and looked at it and immediately realized we had unplugged the float plug from the pump plug which was 90% of the problem and the leak just need a little tightening of a flex joint. The company was quick and didn't charge for an estimate or in this case a quick "thats not plugged in right". The experience and the overall professionalism has convinced me that when I do finally need that big repair job, I'll call these guys.

Booking an appointment was extremely easy, and we were able to get one just the next day. Communication was excellent with timely reminders and a call before our appointment. Kerry did a fantastic job both advising us and effectively resolving our issue.

I have all good things to say about 2 Sons Plumbing. My first experience was a few years ago and the whole process went very smoothly. Making the appointment was easy and quick, the repair was done with no problem and I thought the price was fair. Recently, Dave from 2 Sons came out to look at several plumbing problems I was having and, within a matter of minutes, all of the problems were diagnosed. Dave gave me options and estimates all before he left my house. I haven’t had the work done yet but appreciate the information and the prices seemed fair to me. Dave was on time, professional and very knowledgeable. 2 Sons are my go to Plumbers.

Bob at 2 Sons Plumbing was amazing! We had a horribly backed up kitchen sink drain and he was able to fix it, and save us some money in the process! He heard what we had to say about our issue and double checked everything. Super friendly and very helpful. Thank you for the amazing work Bob!

Stellar job by Carey and his team at 2sons today. I had a complex job -- installing a yard hydrant/faucet for a garden across the (private) street. They had to go into the floor of the garage, run piping under the floor, out of the house, across the road. Had to cut into the asphalt, trench down a couple feet, then patch it all up again, including fixing the garage concrete floor. Super job. Looks really clean. Got it all done in a day.

A wonderful experience every time with 2 Sons plumbing. Jake and Angelo helped us with our plumbing issue. They showed up on time and gave a very reasonable estimate for the repair. We ended up replacing a couple of toilets and a part of a sink drain. They came back the next day to complete the work due to our schedule. Excellent communication, prompt, and hard working! Thank you so much Jake and Angelo!! We are very happy with 2 Sons and have used them multiple times.

Brandon and Ethan were awesome. I had a basic plumbing issue that I was too scared to address myself. They were very non judgmental and provided excellent customer service. I totally recommend 2 Sons Plumbing.
