What it usually is
Mineral buildup in the aerator, a partly closed supply valve or a failing cartridge can all cut flow. If only the hot side is weak, the shutoff valve or the cartridge is a likely culprit.
What to do first
Unscrew the aerator and rinse out the grit. Check that the supply valves under the sink are fully open.
The flat rate that covers it

- Diagnosis / service call (plumbing or electrical): $79
Federal Way is a large suburban city of subdivisions, townhomes and apartment complexes that mostly grew in recent decades. Many Federal Way homes are newer, so common calls are for fixture repair, valve problems and worn-out water heaters rather than failing old pipe.
