Is this valve under the sink open? it should be parrellel to the pipe, not perpendicular.

Some of these answers are kind of far fetched but I did see "aerator" in one of them....If everything else in the house is okay then you should unscrew the aerator that is connected to the end of the spout. It may take a pair of pliers although you dont need to squeeze the aerator too hard. With the aerator off, turn the faucet on. You will be able to tell a big difference if the aerator is in fact clogged. If you get good pressure with the aerator off then take the aerator apart.....there should be 3 or 4 pieces in it...remember how it goes though for you will have to put it back that way. Clean it out and the screen thoroughly and then re-assemble and screw back on the faucet. Try again.....I'm willing to bet that is your problem. Try this first and if you still have no pressure then feel free to click on my profile and email and we can go into more detail about what else it may be.....good luck!

Check to see if the valve is open under the sink, do you have kids, do they play with this stuff?
Check the filter end of the faucet, unscrew it, it could be that clogged with refuse from the water and pipes.

I would guess that a valve washer has fallen off in a cut off valve for the kitchen area, especially if you have a separate water heater for the kitchen and the valve is before the heater. The valve would permit working on the kitchen plumbing without turning off the whole house. If the valve washer has fallen off it would block water flow in both hot and cold.

Your subject is that the bladder tank has ruptured. The bladder tank is that huge blue (in many situations) situation close to the place the water line enters the living house. With the tank to alter tension, the properly pump is cycling on and rancid as water is getting used, ensuing interior the tension being extreme while the pump in on and close to the shutoff tension for the tension change, and right down to no longer something as quickly because it shuts off till the tension drops to the point the place the change demands extra water. replace the bladder and then use an air compressor to pressurize the bladder to 35-40 lbs.

It could be calcification inside the faucet itself. I have really hard water and I have to take the faucets off every 6 months and soak them and their components in a bag of white vinegar in the sun. I just leave it in the sun a few hours and then rinse it out real good and put it back. Take the aerator off of the faucet and stick your finger inside the hole. If you feel hard deposits inside that is likely the culprit. That stuff builds up throughout the entire faucet and all its components.
