I have a problem that just occured with in the past week. My Water heater is in the basement. There is low water pressure in the upstairs bathroom sinks (double). The shower in the same bathroom is not having the pressure problems and the Kitchen does not have the pressure problems. It does not matter if it is hot or cold water there is very little pressure coming out of the faucets. I bought the faucets about 2 years ago. I have the same faucet in the bathroom downstairs and I am not having any problems with it.

Any suggestions would help.

Thank you in advance.

Chris, pull off the strainer on the end of the faucet, clean it out and replace it. Usually it gathers gunk and occludes the flow of water until it is cleaned. Let us know how that goes, so we can help further if needed.
