Low water pressure is one of the most common — and most frustrating — problems homeowners call us about. The good news? It’s almost always fixable once you know the cause. Here are the six culprits we see most often, and what to do about each.
Your home’s main water valve can get bumped or left half-closed after a repair. Check that both the main valve and any fixture valves are fully open before assuming the worst.
Mineral deposits build up in the little screens on your faucets and showerheads. Unscrew them, soak them in vinegar overnight, and you’ll often restore flow instantly.
In older homes, scale slowly narrows the pipes themselves. If pressure has dropped gradually over years, this is a likely cause — and one a pro should assess.
Most homes have a regulator that keeps incoming pressure safe. When it fails, pressure can spike or drop suddenly across the whole house. These are inexpensive to replace.
If pressure is low and your water bill crept up, you may have a leak behind a wall or underground. Catching it early saves thousands in damage.
Sometimes it’s not you at all. If neighbors have the same issue, or it happens at peak hours, the municipal supply may be the source.
If you’ve checked the easy fixes and pressure is still low, it’s worth a professional diagnosis before it becomes a bigger problem. We’ll pinpoint the cause fast and walk you through your options — no pressure (the sales kind).
