Why Is Water Pressure Low at One Faucet but Fine Elsewhere?

It’s annoying when you turn on the faucet and get little more than a dribble instead of the steady flow you’re used to. The good news? If it’s only happening at one sink while the rest of your Everett home has normal pressure, the problem is almost always local to that single faucet—not your entire plumbing system.

At 2 Sons Plumbing Everett, we see this problem all the time. In most cases, it’s something simple like a clogged aerator or a worn cartridge. With the right fix, your faucet can be back to full pressure quickly and affordably.

Why One Faucet Loses Pressure

If just one faucet is acting up, here are the most common causes we find in Everett homes:

A Clogged Aerator

That little mesh screen on the end of your faucet is designed to save water and soften the stream. Over time, minerals, grit, and sand can clog it up, leaving you with weak water flow.

A Worn Cartridge

Many faucets have a cartridge inside the handle that controls both water flow and temperature. When it wears out or gets blocked, that faucet alone will lose pressure even though the rest of the house is fine.

Mineral Buildup

Hard water in our area often leaves calcium and lime deposits inside faucets. As the buildup grows, water flow slows down until it feels like barely a trickle.

Easy Fixes You Can Try at Home

Before calling in a plumber, there are a few simple steps you can try yourself:

Clean the aerator. Unscrew it from the faucet tip, rinse it under water, and brush away any grit or debris.
Soak it in vinegar. If you see white or green mineral deposits, leave it in vinegar for a couple of hours to break down buildup.
Swap out the cartridge. If cleaning the aerator doesn’t help, a replacement cartridge often restores full pressure.

These fixes don’t cost much—an aerator usually runs $5–$20, and cartridges are widely available at hardware stores.

When It’s Time to Call a Pro

If you’ve tried the simple fixes and your faucet still has low pressure, it’s time to bring in a professional. Call 2 Sons Plumbing Everett if:

More than one faucet in your home is losing pressure
The faucet is leaking, rusted, or corroded
DIY cleaning or replacement didn’t fix the issue

In those cases, the problem may be your pressure regulator, main water line, or plumbing hidden in the walls. Our licensed plumbers have the tools and experience to track down the real cause and fix it right the first time.

Typical Repair Costs in Everett

DIY aerator replacement: $5–$20
Professional faucet repair: $200–$325 on average

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.
