Fix your low water pressure today!

Have you noticed a drop in water pressure lately?  Or worse, no water at all?

When there is low water pressure in the house, it can be frustrating to do everything from take a shower to wash the dishes and do laundry. Understanding the causes of low water pressure might help you solve the issue. There are several typical causes.

Clogged pipes

Mineral deposits, rust, and other debris can accumulate over time and clog pipes, limiting the water flow through them. Low water pressure may result from this, especially in older homes where deteriorated pipes may be present. You might need to have your pipes cleaned or replaced to resolve this problem.

Leaks

Water pressure can be decreased by leaks in pipes that allow water to escape before it reaches your faucets. Anywhere in the plumbing system, including subterranean pipes and those inside walls, can have leaks. You will notice a decrease in water pressure or an increase in your water bill if you suspect a leak.

Improperly sized pipes

Low water pressure might be brought on by pipes that are not the correct size for the amount of water they are transporting. Older, smaller pipes might not be able to meet the increasing demand for water in homes that have been renovated or enlarged.

Municipal water system issues

Issues with the municipal water system, such as a broken main, a low supply, or maintenance activities, can also contribute to low water pressure. If you think this might be the case, you can find out more by getting in touch with your city water department.

High demand

When several taps, showers, and toilets are used simultaneously, the demand for water can easily outpace the pipes’ capacity. Low water pressure might result from this, especially in houses with old plumbing systems.

Consult a professional plumber

Sometime the best course of action when you experience low water pressure is to consult your local professional plumbing company. They are trained to find the cause of the low water flow quickly. They can then provide you with the best information on how to fix the problem quickly and economically.
