Why is my sink trickling?
If, after all of your hard work, you notice the faucet is still dripping, then the cause may be corrosion in your valve seat. If not cleaned over time, it can produce leaks near the spout. Other potential problems are worn-out seals, loose parts, or, even worse, broken plumbing.
Why does hot water trickle out of my Kitchen Sink?
Underneath the sink there is a tee connector that connects the water from the hot and cold faucets to a single line going to the spout.

Is it bad to wait for hot water at the kitchen sink?

If pressure is good, the problem is in the faucet/ cartridge and you will need to take the faucet apart to flush out the area where the cartridge sits. If pressure is not good…go to next step. 3.
