About Carolyn
Expertise
I have worked in Electrical Engineering for 27 years in power distribution, but I am a handy homeowner more than anything else and have a lot of skills when it comes to home repairs. Bathroom remodeling, flooring, painting, reconditioning old wood items, plumbing, car repairs and troubleshooting most problems.

Experience
My greatest accomplishment was finishing my first bathroom upgrades in my first home which helped me to sell my home is less than 3 days by myself with a For Sale By Owner sign and no more. Plus I got $10,000 more for it in just 4 years of owning it, now that is great equity.

Question
my water pressure is low in the kitchen other parts of the house is ok its a pull out fault Riley new should i replace lines the under kitchen the sink

Answer
Hey Keith,
Before you do that, look and see if your faucet has a aerator on it, there should be a screen that may just be clogged and needs to be cleaned. Take a look at these site's and see if it helps, I sure hope so!

Go to sheet 3 of 8 and see where part #RP32529 is on the Delta faucet or page 4 part #5:

Once you have the aerator removed, run the water and see if it runs properly, if so, you have found the problem.

Good luck!
~Carolyn~
