Why is there no water pressure at my tap, i.e. neither hot nor cold will flow?
First, see if all the rest of the taps in the home are working. If so, this means the problem is local to the one tap. The first step is to remove the aerator (screw-off the end of the tap to take out the aerator) and clean it out. Before replacing the aerator, run the hot and cold water through the line (holding a rag over the spout to prevent splashing) to clear the lines. Then, re-install aerator (screw it back on) and test. If the problem persists, it is further down the line, and youll need to give us a call. Why is there no pressure in my shower? It could be one of a few things: A plugged shower head, scaled-up with hard water is one cause. You can pull and check as you would an aerator at the end of a tap (see previous question about There is no water pressure at my tap). Another possibility is that the shower cartridge is worn out and needs replacing. Or, it could be that the water heater is plugged up, affecting the pressure in the whole house.
