  1. Simply start tracing the water back from the sink.  Disconnect the feed lines and see if water comes out there.  Then check the copper or pvc all the way to the hot water heater.  Sometimes people put in cutoff valves in weird spots.

    often times the problem is with calcium buildup in the sink.  This is worse with kitchen sinks with hose attachments.  Any little blockage in the hose will drastically cut water pressure.


  2. is your faucet a single or duel handle unit ? if its a single handle you may need to rebuild / replace the valve in the unit.

    Duel handle you may end up replacing the unit all together.

    how old is the faucet ? What kind of plumbing do you have, copper, galv. pipe plastic tubing ? need more info about the system to help more

  3. If the water is turned on under the sink then you must figure the next possible area that it could be clogged is the faucet.  The thing is the hot comes in on one line and the cold comes in from another line.   Do they both not work?   If not you might have a faulty faucet.  Try disconnecting the faucet from the line and the turn the water on under the sink see if water comes out then it's the faucet.  Go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and buy one you like and put it in.

  4. the lines could be pluged  check out the water at the wall and see if you have water there.

  5. The air raidor is full of dirt unsrew and try that.
