Low cold water pressure to kitchen sink. Any fixes?

Question

I have a mobile home, all my water pressure works fine except for the cold water in the kitchen, it is a small stream. Any ideas on what is wrong and how to fix it?

I didnt see a way to reply so I will just add details.

I live in a trailer park so it is not a well, basically city water.

I have nowhere to turn the water off under the sink, the water lines just lead under the floor and back to the hot water heater I guess.

It is not the faucet because I have a line leading out of it for my refrigerator ice maker/water dispenser and that is also getting low water pressure.

Thanks

Answer 1

first of all do you have a well?
second did you check under the sink to see if it is turned on all the way?
third if it is on all the way then you need to clean out you pipe to the faucet.

1.) turn off the water under the sink
2.)look for a screw,allen hex,screw or a emblem on the handle if you have two handlesflip up the top and there should be a screw.
3.)take off handles and there should be a plastic insert in there.
4.)pull out butr make sure you see how it comes out so you know how they go back in so your water turns on & off the same way ( take pictures with camera or phone).
5.)turn the water back on just a little to blow out anything in the line.
6.)check washers on plastic piecemight want to go to home depot and pick up a set of universal set of rubber o rings (washers).
7.)after you turn the water off unhook the cold water line ind check the screen on the water line (if you have a well you may have some mud or debree in this screen).
8.)put back together ( hope you took pictures or you got a good memory ).
9.)turn water backon and water should be good now.
Total time should be 30 min to 1 hour depending on you.

The most likely reason for low water pressure to just one sink in your house is due to the valve in the faucet being partially closed. It could be the shut off valve under the sink. Make sure that one is opened ll the way. If that doesnt work then shut the same valve completely off. Unscrew the lever used to turn on the cold water and use a phillips screw driver to open the valve within the faucet.
If this doesnt work you might have cloged water lines and should have a plumber come out and check on it.

The only way to find the restriction is to go through process of elimination. First turn off the water. take the handle off your faucet and remove the stem you may find a restiction there. next you check the connection under the faucet. Nothing there? check the tee for the fridge and faucet. Next fitting to check will be under the mobile home as you work your way towards the water main you will find whatever is causing the restricted water flow. hopefully you have all of the tools necessary and the knowledge
required to put these pipes back together with no leaks. think about calling a plumber. sometimes "easy" jobs turn into big headaches.
