Low Pressure - Kitchen Sink
The water pressure in our kitchen sink is really low all of the sudden. The hot has always been a little lower than the cold but I "think" that's fairly normal. I was running the washer alot today so when the washer was on, I didn't think much of it but the washer has been done running for about 2 hours and the pressure is still low (cold and hot). When you have just the hot on and turn on the cold, you really can't even notice a difference in additional pressure. The other faucets in the house are fine. We haven't noticed any leaks anywhere. Is there anything else we can check out and try to fix ourselves before calling a plumber? We do not have a well, if that helps.

Unscrew the aerator tip off the end of the faucet and rinse the internal screens off.
